OLW 59 Inspiration challenge
Posted: June 27, 2011 Filed under: CAS, Pocket Silhouettes 15 Comments
I enjoy playing along with the One Layer Wednesday challenge when I can which hasn’t been lately. This week Susan provided a pretty photo of flowers in jars to inspire us. I decided to use the colours and the flowers but not mention the jars.
The technique is nothing new for me; same old masking and sponging that I love to do. I sponged a hint of a hill this time not the well defined slopes I sometimes have. I also sponged a hint of sunrise by leaving a little white space unsponged. The white flowers were embossed in clear before the sponging and everything else was stamped over the top of the sponging.
Supplies:
Stamps: Pocket Silhouettes, Short & Sweet
Inks: Yoyo Yellow, Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke, Versamark
Cardstock: Flourishes Classic White
Also: Clear e.p.

I love when you do this kind of card!
I will never tire of your sponged scenes Heather and I have to say it’s my favourite technique as well. There’s something beautifully nostalgic about the light effect you created on this one. vx
Love this technique and just tried it myself with the same set (different colors and challenge)last week. I love your card!
Heather this is so lovely and beautiful. Love the colours and the technique. marvelous

Hi Heather, Now, I recognise this , it’s gorgeous, you do this type of stamping and sponging so well, it’s stunning, Gay xxx
And it’s absolutely fabulous!! I really love the effect you’ve got from the sponged background and the various flowers and grasses stamped on top look brilliant. Love it!
Your masking/sponging is, as always, beyond beautiful! I love that hint of sunrise you created.
I lOVE it, thanks for sharing, gonna give this a try..
absolutely beautiful. I need to try this technique again.
Stunning! I love the sun peeking out over your countryside of plants. The darks and lights of the plants look so good with the clear white ones. I like the softer mounds in place of the masked hills in this instance. Lovely card.
Oh my goodness, Heather! You never cease to amaze me with your beautiful and elegant designs. This is gorgeous… I truly love it.
Adorable, so beautiful Heather …
