I've been trying in vain to combine the new OLW challenge with the One Layer week at Less is More, I've had to admit defeat before I went stir crazy and make separate cards as my stamps just didn't want to play ball today!
So over at Less is More Mandi and Chrissie want to 'see double' on a one layer card, so I flicked through my stamps and saw the band-aid in the Lawn Fawn set called 'on the mend' and used the masking method to stamp it twice in a cross .....
I've been practising my pro-marker colouring and this is first take....I'm amazed!
I'm also entering this into ...Wee Memories Challenge this week as they want to see one layer cards too.
This next card is for OLW which has begun again after a summer break and the first challenge is to make a New Baby card, this week there is a prize too, for one lucky person :)
I'm lacking in the baby stamps area, especially for one layer cards .... but I did see the pea pod stamp in the PTI set called 'Green Thumb' and it shouted out to be used on a new baby card .... what do you think?
I seem to be on a small card trend at the moment, these are both 4" square, I especially love them for one layer cards
Lovely to have the days to myself again but with guests coming this weekend, the housework is the top of the list, the quicker it's done the more craft time ....Yay
Thanks for your visit, I'd love to hear what you think X
Terrific cards Jenny... as ever, I love to see what you come up with each week!
ReplyDeleteThose plasters are super.
Thanks so much

Jenny - these are both just fantastic. I really like the cute plasters on the LIM card. And the sweetpea image is just adorable! Great cards!!
ReplyDeleteboth cards are absolutely adorable, jenny!! the LIM card is way too clever!!
ReplyDeleteI adore both cards Jenny. The soft, muted tones of the sweet pea card make it sweet :) The first is perfectly masked, colored and laid out. You blow me away every post! xo
ReplyDeleteTwo super cute, super fabulous cards! I think your coloring is just amazing! You are so very talented.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! These couldn't be any cuter! I just love the band-aids and the cute little pea stamp! Great job! Thanks for playing with us at Wee Memories!
ReplyDeleteSometimes when I try to combine challenges, I get totally blocked. It's easier to do 2 cards I think. I love your bandaids and they are painted so realistically! And the Sweet Pea card is adorable!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love the band-aid card and your Pro-Marker colouring is fantastic! Not surprised though... :)
ReplyDeleteLove the softness of those chalk inks and your highlighting is spot on! Good luck with that housework - have a big cup of coffee before you start, turn up some dance music and rock right through it! :)
Hope you survived Katia without too much of a mess to clean up!
Hi Jenny! Both cards are wonderful. I love the band-aid - I mean plasters card. so clever of you to cross the images. The sweet pea is just to cute. Great coloring on both. I hope I can get to these challanges and CAS-ual Fridays this week, but it is not looking good. As always, I just love to see what you come up with. x
ReplyDeleteJenny, both are super adorable! Love those band aids!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Jenny. The bandaids look fantastic, they don't look like one layer at all :)
ReplyDeleteThese are such cute OLCards, Jenny! Your colouring is really great ... those band-aids just pop right off the page! TFS
ReplyDeleteCheers, Karen

Two cute cards,Jenny. Your double band-aids work great for the Less is More challenge, and I really like the pea pod for a baby card, too. Your marker coloring looks fabulous on the band-aids. I haven't ventured into coloring with markers yet. A lot of people use copics, but they're so darn expensive. I just can't get over the price. :)

Very sweet cards Jenny. I love the light grey border on the bandaids.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny
ReplyDeleteTwo more great cards to make me smile!!
Loving the get well sticking plasters and those cute little peas are so sweet.
Beautiful makes.
Love Jules xx
These are sooooo cute Jenny. I particularly love the sweet band aid card, the image makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Victoria ~x~
Those plasters are fab, great idea and colouring too; do the Promarkers go through to the inside the way Copics do? And the Sweet Pea is adorable:)

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, Two brilliant cards, the plasters fir the bill perfectly at LIM, clever idea to cross them, looks a particularly good design to heal:0) Then your baby card, loads of fun, yeah! I love 4 by 4 cards too, just seem the right balance somehow. Thanks for your kind wishes too, Gay xxx
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are fantastic CAS cards!! Perfect for the Wee Memories Challenge! Thanks for playing along with Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteJenny, I love BOTH clean and simple cards! I like the 4" square cards when they are one-layer...really pretty. The band-aids are so cute (nice coloring!) and the sweet peas are just that...so SWEET! Good luck with both challenges...and with the cleaning!
ReplyDeleteAdorable cards! I love the way you crossed the bandages, and your coloring is perfect. So glad you could join us for the first challenge at Young Crafters Unite!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards, Jenny! I love how you crossed the bandaid to make it double =) Thank you so much for joining our first Young Crafters Unite challenge!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Jenny! I love how you've coloured both of these images and happy smiley faces always do it for me! Vx
ReplyDeleteI love both of these Jenny but the get well card is so cool - great stamps and great colouring too.
ReplyDeleteTara x
Both are adorable Jenny...but my fav is the sweet little pea pod card !!!
ReplyDeleteTwo super cards Jenny. You've certainly mastered the promarkers, you're colourings perfect. Sue.x
ReplyDeleteThose band-aids are super cute! That is one of my favorite images in that set (even though I have yet to use any of them) I love how you made the X with them! And your coloring is fabulous...even the simplest of images can become so interesting with great color! Thanks for joining us at YCU!
ReplyDeleteTerrific cards, love your double plaster and your baby peas are brilliant XOXO Zoe
ReplyDeleteJenny what super duper cards, the plaster with a smile is so original, and the baby card is perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour colouring is pretty special too
Both your cards are amazing in all their CAS glory! My favourite though is the bandaids, these are just too cute! Love your colouring, it's perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe plasters are inspired!What a great card!I love the colouring on the peas too.
ReplyDeleteJenny your card is adorable, sure will bring a smile to anyone not feeling well. I peeked in on your other cards as well, love your one layer cards. I am fairly new to one layer but loving them. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny,
ReplyDeleteI had always read about using odorless mineral spirits to blend colored pencils, but I didn't have any. I came across a blog (don't know which one!) where the person had used baby oil. I happened to have some on hand from a science experiment I did with the kids last month, so I decided to try it.
I used some little blending nubs I had picked up at the craft store next to the colored pencils. They worked pretty well. I'll have to try the mineral spirits to compare, but the baby oil seemed to work okay.
Have a great day! Ann
Awesome one layered cards! One layer is so difficult, but obviously not for you!!! (-:
ReplyDeleteImpressed! Have a great weekend, hugs, Karin
those peas in a pod are gorgeous .. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. Love those plasters, not seen that before, and you adapted it to the challenge perfectly.
ReplyDeleteLinbyx
Hi Jenny, fabulous cards as always! I love seeing what you come up with each week. xx

ReplyDeleteI love these, they are just so adorable!

Two fabulous cards Jenny, I do like the fun plaster card!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are great, I especially like the get well 'plaster' card. Colouring is perfect as well.
