papertrey ink | Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today with the One-Layer Simplicity Challenge 14. This month the theme is Words, Words, Words!!

How amazing is that. You can only use word stamps on your card. No flowers, no background stamps, no image stamps of any kind. Now, that is “simple” challenge!!

Take a look at my card:

I masked off my cardstock 1″ on all four sides.

I used Papertrey Ink Keep It Simple: Thinking Of You Stamp Set to stamp my sentiments in the center of my card using Papertrey Ink’s Summer Sunrise Ink, Tropical Teal Ink, Berry Sorbet Ink and Hawaiian Shores Ink.

I took my time and pealed the mask off and rounded the corners to finish off my card.

What do you think? Let me know below!

Hello everyone, I’m back again for the second time. I’m here joining Papertrey Inks BIG monthly Blog Hop!!!

I’m so excited. I’ve never been on a blog hop before!

I must say it was exciting to create a card in a matter of minutes for the world to see. Ok, so it took me more than a minute, I started making this card an hour and a half ago. But the results are amazing, to me at least.

The challenge was to use two colors: Aqua and Melon!!!

That should be easy, right, wrong!!

I had a Aqua Mist ink pad but I didn’t have any melon color. No ink, paper, embellishments, nothing.

How was I going to participate if I didn’t have melon. I started to fret. I knew the colors for a little while but I procrastinated on buying the melon ink that I needed.

So what is a girl to do????

Ding, Ding, Ding…..the bells went off in my head. Water-coloring is my favorite so why not create the color yourself!!! OMG, I can create the melon color that I need. That is what I did!!

So this is what I came up with first. It looks so close but it was too light so I decided to go at it again.

Much better!! I love how it turned out. I feel like a true artist now, LOL!! I used my Winsor & Newton Water Colours! The colors that I mixed were Burnt Sienna, White and Alizarin Crimson, respectfully.

I took my time and mixed one color at a time, cleaning my brush in between. When it was to red I added Burnt Sienna and when it was to white I added a little red until I got the color you see above.

I was jumping up and down because I can participate in the hop!

So enough with the long talking, here is the card I came up with!

What do you think? Does my butterfly past the Aqua and Melon test? I love WATER-COLORING!!!!

For the butterfly, I attached the out butterfly to the body using foam adhesive so that the wings would stand out.

For the card base, I just sponged the edges with the Aqua Mist and then I used my mini ink blender tool and bought the softer color towards the center.

I stamped the sentiment and Wala!! My card is complete.
