Steampunk Sparrow


Here's my card for the Less is More Challenge  week 236 where it's ONE LAYER cards and THE EYES HAVE IT.  I know I must be mad but I love one layer cards as they are indeed a challenge.


I have no face or eye stamps but then realised it would be good opportunity to use my new Deep Red Rubber stamp - the Steampunk Sparrow.   He's just inked with Onyx Black Versafine and coloured with Tombow markers.  I masked him off and created a panel using the cog stamps from Chocolate Baroque's Punky Flowers set.   I drew a couple of lines and finished with the Oak House Studio sentiment.

I'm also entering this into:
Happy Little Stampers Challenge - CAS and MASKING
The Craft Barn's weekly challenge - COLOURING
The Craft Stamper - Make It Take It - PENS and PENCILS

Hope you like and thanks for visiting - you're always welcome!!

  1. I love one layer cards too, but only when other people do them (I can't!). The steampunk bird is fabulous, I love the colours you did him in and the background is beautiful. Hugs, Anne xx

  7. Wonderful one layer card, your bird just pops off the surface in those colours. One layer cards used to scare me but I love making them now!
    Thanks for sharing with us.
