One layer card no. 2

 Back again today with another one layer card. I did some cards recently using the Two Jays Penguin stamps and I wanted to use one of them again in a single layer card. 


I first die cut a circle, mines around 4 1/4" in size, out of post it note or copier paper. You can do the stamping on the card blank, which I will be honest I did do and then right at the end I got some ink from my finger on it so I cut it down and used it as mat on my card blank.  If you are using copier paper stick it down with some tape so its doesnt move. I then stamped my penguin where I wanted him and then stamped him again on a post it note and cut out. Tip is to cut right on the ink line that way you won't get a halo effect around him. Cover the stamped image with the post it note one and then same as I did yesterday tear some more post it note to make the snow border. Leave the post it note on the penguin and line up where you want the snow to lay and blend either side of him. I then did a few more layers going down the circle. I also blended some ink around the inside top of the circle for the sky. Pop the post it note back over penguin matching up where you blended and ink up your trees and stamp. You are going over the post it note on the penguins and the snow border, it does look weird but trust me when you remove all of it the trees will be in the background of the penguin and he is sitting on the snow. I then coloured the penguin with alcohol pens,stamped a sentiment across the bottom and found a little snowflake stamp to create the snow falling. It look really dimensional but its all one layer. Of course I added some glitter to finish and a few little lines with a white gel pen.
