A Summery One Layer Card

Hi Everyone ,

I thought this week I would combine OLW with my LIM card as it's the turn of the nervously anticipated

ONE LAYER WEEK

and the challenge is

IN THE FRAME

We would like to see a frame of some sort or something in a frame... we'd like you to be as inventive as you like.

You could doodle, draw, emboss, ink, paint, colour, print, stamp, emboss resist,  mask or any other method you can come up with to get a frame of sorts into your design.

Over at One Layer Wednesday the theme is summer hols/beach and this week is being hosted by Jennifer and she has a guest designer too :)

Now I do not have any suitable stamps for this theme apart from flip flops , which have been done already , so it was a case of thinking outside the box ....or inside the box when I saw the LIM challenge :)

The scene is actually peeking through an aperture in the card so I hope this still counts as one layer ??

The parasol is a sizzlets die that I've drawn around on the card front and then I used a rectangle nestie placed so as the image extends outside of inner frame and drew around the inside and outside of the nestie, all with pencil.

Then using my craft knife , I cut the aperture either side of the parasol and drew the outer frame in with pen allowing a gap for the sentiment .

I've used Coloursoft Pencils for the Parasol and chalks for the beach scene , adding highlights with pencils and a white gel pen .

Not sure how useful this card will be with a sentiment like that but it just fitted the image nicely and anyway , I really wish I was there so perhaps I'll just keep it to look at on miserable weather days :)

I actually made this card yesterday having spotted the accidental heads up from Chrissie this week on my blogger dashboard .... oops now I've let the cat out of the bag :)

All the challenge details can be found on the links above , why not click and have a go too :)
 

Thanks for calling in today X
