Time Out challenge #233 - Elegant

 

When my friend Stephanie's Time Out post arrived in my inbox this morning, I just knew I had to have another play time with Altenew's Magnolia Ballerina set - to be exact: the stencils, and stamps!  

I am doing my best to keep postage down to one stamp.  And I love using these BIG BOLD Altenew florals on my entire card base - but to do that and not 'mess up' the inside of my card with alcohol marker bleed-through, stamping is the only way to go.

Here's my process:
    Cut an A2 card base:  5.5 x 8 inches and use the stencils to color the image:

    
Next stamp the outline image in black, and your sentiment using one color and sub sentiment in black - no layers make this card super mailable:


Go ahead and add extra shadows with colored pencils - no bleed-through!


Score and fold!  Who says one-layer, get better, cards can't also be elegant?


Thanks so much for stopping by! and thanks, Stephanie for inspiring me to play along with Time Out challenge #233 today!
