Bombshell Hump Day Hop Round 10

Good Morning Sistahs!

Don't you just love Hump Day?  There's nothin' like some good hoppin' to get you over the hump and ready for the weekend.  This week's challenge was harder for me than I thought it was going to be. Grrrr.  But, if it were easy, it couldn't be called a challenge right?  

SINGLE LADIES

Nope, not Beyonce style...I mean layers.  You've got it, this week's challenge is to make a card using only the card base; one layer.  Use stencils, airbrush, drawings and the like; add anything that tickles your fancy except more paper.  Why should layers have all the fun?

Here's my take on the challenge using the Hawaiian Girl set:

 

I had to fight every urge I had to not add layers!  I wanted to pop the turtle up, but...that would mean more paper, which means....another layer.  I wanted to pop up the oyster, but again that would mean an extra layer.  Hmph!  So instead I chose to use my old stand by embellishment; Glossy Accents.  Woo Hoo! It didn't add as much depth as I would have liked, but it definitely made things pop. Here's a close up:

 

See how just a little bit of gloss creates another dimension of fabulousness?  (That's a technical term by the way. *giggle)  Once I was done, I waited for everything to dry then added the Glimmer Mist to give the water a sparkly texture.

Now that you've seen what I have to offer, make sure you stop by and check out what the rest of the beauties have come up with. Don't forget....there's still time to enter Ms. November's challenge.

i'm not crazy about single layer cards, but this is great! It makes youdo design without DP and this is a great job at the design. What a cool idea. Love the Glossy accents and the "pearl" it looks so real.

Amazing how this back to basics approach was the cause for this beautiful card. I love Glitter Mist, goes great with everything. :)

You're right, that gloss added just the right touch. Great job Angela!

[Kathi]

Oooh. I love the way the glossy accents made the turtle's shell and the oyster pop right out.

Great card!

Great card! This was a hard one, but it was also one that allowed us to bring out all the fun stuff - glossy accents, glimmer mist, little pearls, etc. Hope you're having a fabulous day!

glossy accent is magig ;)

I'm impressed by the shading on the turtle shell. Make it appear more 3-D than just a flat color.
