[Funny story. I originally made three cards using a free digi image from Jane's Doodles in which I used three-word sentiments and three different patterned papers to paper-piece three parts of the image. Then, after getting ready to upload them, I realized that they wouldn't qualify for this challenge because paper-pieced cards are not actually one layer! OOPS! So, they will be a post for another day.]
So back to the drawing board...and I must say I am pleased with where this all went. I started thinking about 3-word sentiments I have in my stash (e.g., "Thinking of You," "Get Well Soon," etc.) and I suddenly remembered an oldie from Hero Arts that states -- three times, no less -- "Style is eternal." Here is what I ended up with:
I actually did three techniques to this My Mother's Dress stamp, too: I embossed, water colored and glittered (sections). You can see it better here:
So there you have it. Three word sentiment, three times, with three techniques on the dress. AND it's a one-layer card with lots of white space.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteOooh...VERY creative "three's" to create a gorgeous card!! Love the watercoloring and the glitter. Love the layout. Just wonderful!!! (I did the same thing...had a card together and then "oops", it wasn't one layer!!)

Stunning card love the dress!
ReplyDeleteFunny story! :) Love your card, the dress is beautiful! Was so glad to see your comment on my blog. Hope you're having a great summer!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love that stamp Judy. I borrowed it from a friend of mine but had to return it and haven't been able to buy it anywhere since. So nice to see it on your lovely card.
ReplyDeleteOh Judy-I adore how you colored and glittered the dress!!! Gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Judy! Love that dress and that sentiment is just perfect! Isn't is great to use those oldies but goodies?
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see that stamp, I say to myself..."I MUST order that stamp!"...and I still don't have it! I LOVE how you've colored it...and the sentiment couldn't be more perfect! I think I did the same thing this week when making my cards...the first one ended up with layers before I realized I was suppose to be making a one layer card! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. The dress is lovely. It's one of my favourite stamps. The sentiment is perfect
