Masking did all the work on this card. Isn’t it cool? I have been seeing lots of stationery with sentiments angled across the top. So I trimmed a post it note and placed it on the card base. And I didn’t remove the mask until the end.
For the background, I started by stamping Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain with Broken China distressing ink. Then I inked the background of the card with Broken China, Peeled Paint, and a bit of Vintage Photo. Then with Vintage Photo ink, I stamped Hero Arts Dictionary Greetings (the birthday version), just along the top and bottom of the card.
I set the whole card aside to dry. Once it was dry, I removed the mask and stamped the sentiment in Broken China ink followed with heat embossing. I did that so the sentiment would stand up to the background. The bicycle was also heat embossed.
hope that gives you some good inspiration to start your week off! :) Mint Motif sneak peeks start tomorrow!!!!! :) thanks for stopping by!

That is a truly amazing card. I thought the paper was just printed that way, then I read all the work you did to create it how you wanted it! Amazing! I would have never thought to do that. TFS!

What a great one-layer card! I would never have guessed that wasn't paper and layers! AWESOME!
Awesome card! I would have been soooo nervous to stamp that sentiment after I had done all the rest of the work on that card. You pulled it off beautifully!
OMG! This is sooo awesome! TFS
just love all of the thought that you put into this. layers and tecnique are my thing and your card showcases both of them.
Another great Hero Arts card, Kimberly!

I love the use of blue with the woodgrain stamp.
Thanks for sharing! :)
