Today I am sharing a one layer card, I quite enjoy doing blended ink panels on cards, as long as I get them straight, so this technique is perfect for a one layer card. I also think they are ideal for stamping black solid images onto and now I have a stamping tool I can position them correctly and get a perfect solid black image. It always eluded me before that and I would end up getting out a black marker pen and trying to fill in the gaps, but it never quite worked. Anyway, here is my one layer card:
Orange and blue are one of my favourite colour combinations.
I am entering this in the following challenge:
Addicted to CAS #148 one layer
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Gorgeous one layer card, Hilary! Your ink blending on the background is so pretty and I love the contrast of your silhouette! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Addicted to CAS!
Oh my, this is absolutely gorgeous, Hilary. Love the masking nad inking. The iris sihlouette images are beautiful and I love the over the edge stamping. Thanks so much for playing with us at Addicted To CAS!
Congrats on your well-deserved win at ATCAS, Hilary! I hope to hear from you about your prize and a Guest Designer spot for the next challenge!
This is so beautiful. Your blending is wonderful!
I love this. Could you comment on how you did this? What inks worked for you? How did you mask it, etc? I have some ideas on how to "case" your beautiful creation.
Hi Karen, thanks for asking about how I did this card. I have found that the most important thing when blending is the paper. I try to use really smooth paper often Bristol Board. The inks are distress inks blended with a sponge on a blending tool. I have started to use all over sticky post it notes to mask the area and/or post it tape. They give a really crisp edge, don't move and come off cleanly. I have a Misti that I used to stamp the Irises, so I could double stamp them. Does this answer your questions?
Thank you Barb, i am absolutely thrilled.
