Single layer Kraft card

So over the weekend on Pinterest I saw a tutorial for a single layer art journal page using Kraft cardstock and brown ink for the images and I fell in love with the look. Of course the art journal that I work with has white pages so that would not work well for me, but I have Kraft cardstock and I love to make cards on it so, there you go Cherry make a card with it.

I used Kraft cardstock from Michael's which is kinda thin, but hey its what I have. I used the Brilliance ink in Coffee Bean from Tsukineko, and color pencils in bright neon shade to color in the images and white to accent everywhere.

I really like the look of this and will probably make a few more like it....

Now for the big giant fail... because lets be real not everything we make is going to be outstanding and perfect, well nothing I ever make is perfect, but that is ok to. I thought that I would get a cute rainbow effect on this card and I drew my lines nice and neat with a brown marker and everything... Well even thought the markers were pastel colored they were still to dark for the paper... I may try using colored pencils next time, because I am not giving up on it, just this attempt was not great... Right! I thought that you would agree.

Yeah not a big fan of that look... and here is the link to the inspiration post http://michelleward.typepad.com/michelleward/2014/01/new-stencils-a-giveaway-and-a-hop.html. I would like to thank you for stopping by today and we will chat again soon.
