As I was ironing the other day, I was inspired to try to recreate my t-shirt as a One-Sheet-Wonder. It had occurred to me that Painted Poppies stamp set was quite close the the featured flower, and Hello Beautiful stamp set has squiggles and blobs which would be useful.
I didn't cover the whole sheet of card, thinking some white spaces might be useful, but I'm not sure if they really were. I was able to make six cards from that stamped sheet though, and that made me happy.
This card with three segments is a fun one to make with designer series paper that co-ordinates or like this with contrasting colours and texture. Sweet Sorbet was embossed with Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and Old Olive with the multi-lingual 'Thanks' embossing folder. It comes paired with another with 'Hello' in many languages.
For the other 3 cards, there is a regular card front, mounted on a black matt, another with the card front sliced into 4 pieces and lastly, a slimline card with Postage Card Punch pieces lined up along the centre.

Wow, what a fabulous way to create some gorgeous cards. Thanks for these guidelines.
ReplyDeleteI love your handmade DSP, what a wonderful inspiration. Lovely cards.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing where inspiration can spring from and you have replicated your shirt design so perfectly, Rachel. Love how you've used that embossing folder and chopped up your one sheet wonder hand stamped DSP to make these beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, Rachel! So many things to love about your creations. Sweet Sorbet works beautifully for poppies, I love the way you've cut up your "one sheet wonder", and I really like the composition of all your cards. Well done, with your efficient card-making!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning set of cards Rachel. Love the self-made DSP and the black outline and dabs of colour look gorgeous. Rosa xo
ReplyDeleteIroning? What's that? LOL!! Your shirt was a fabulous inspiration to you, and I can't believe that you got six cards from your OSW! The white space on the full card front piece looks great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Rachel. But please don't swear Ironing is not a word used in this house. I so love the poppies they are lovely and bright, they come up so well in Sweet Sorbet.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have made a wonderful set of cards, Rachel. I love how you got your inspiration from your shirt and you replicated it beautifully. Fantastic card designs too!
ReplyDeleteWhoever would have thought that ironing would result in such a creative set of cards. Rachel, I love all three designs. They showcase your handmade patterned paper beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great set of cards you have made Rachel. I particularly like the last one
