Good afternoon! I'm back with my homework for Clean and Simple Card Making II, Lesson 2. Today it's all about one layered cards and I learned great tips from the teachers and also remembered some techniques I already know but always forget to put in use. So here we go with a card and a tag... And sorry in advance for the pics, not very good light today around here.
My card features the two kinds of masking. After sponging the inks, I stamped some patterns to add texture without adding bulk. With the washi tape strip I mixed yesterday's tips from Julie and Jennifer: it adds interest, pattern and helps balance the offset stars. The biggest star has some tone over tone stripes but the pic doesn't show it, so here's a closer shot.
Second, a tag with yet more masking and Debby's tip about debossing an image to make it pop without adding bulg. I also loved Julie's gold glitter dots from yesterday, so I made some silver dots of my own :)
Oh, and remember yesterday's lesson about keeping your work clean and without smudges? Obviously I didn't pay enough attention, because I had to repeat the whole tag due to "ink happenings".

I love these projects Lorena! The tag is lots of fun but I just love your card - anything with stars suckers me right in and the way you've managed to get so many little details in there is awesome!!
Thanks for your sweet comment on my card today. :-) I seem to be posting a day out of sync with everyone else lol, so my Day 2 card will be up tomorrow!
