Lighting The Way

Good Afternoon!

Not a whole lot going on around here.  We've had quite a bit of rain lately even this morning, but now the sun is out and the day looks bright!  Hopefully it will be a gardening kind of weekend!  :)

Here's today's little creation:


One of those NO layer cards which freaks me out!  I love my layers, the more the better!  I used a Hero Arts stamp set, Decorative Lamps.  I made a small frame (stencil) out of some thick card stock and sponged More Mustard ink all over the opening on the base card stock.  Once dried I stamped the 3 different lamps on top.  I covered the stamped images and then using an old toothbrush dipped in yellow craft paint I flicked specks all over the front of the card.  Colored some adhesive pearls with a Copic Marker and decorated the lamps.  Simple.....thin.....done.  :)

This card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Mod Squad Blog, One Layer Wonder

CASual Fridays  Three Thirds

Simon Says Wednesday  Anything Goes

CASology  Electric

At least when mailing this card I won't need extra postage!  lol

Thanks again for stopping by!  And remember don't throw away your old toothbrushes!  ;)

Enjoy~~

  4. Super-duper cute!! Think I need the old guy to take me to the craft store for some craft paint so I can try the tooth brush flicky-thingy technique. Hope you have a great week end in the garden.

  11. Whoops, I missed this one. A really neat idea for a no layer card. I will have to remember the mask frame. Love those pearls, and I still need to try the toothbrush thing.
