OSW 3 and 4 Bold Music

Today's post is a continuation of my take on Jessica Taylor's One Sheet Wonder template which can be found here:  https://www.inkitupwithjessica.com/how-to-make-one-sheet-wonder-cards/

For both cards, I used the 2" x 5 1/4 " pieces from the template. The stamp sets I chose are both retired.  I bought them a couple years ago with great intentions, then never used them.  Have you ever done that?  I bet you have!

For this first card, I chose Life Music from Fun Stampers Journey.  I stamped the guitar/tree with Pumpkin Bread* and Fresh Forest* inks.  I love how they blend to make a third color.

Instructions:
For my second card, I used the Be Strong ATS from Fun Stampers Journey.  I have a growing pile of backgrounds that I've made using various techniques and I found a watercolor one that went well with the colors in the striped paper. I used it for the background for the lion and cat.

OSW 1 and 2 Get Well and Go on an Adventure!

I recently stumbled across one sheet wonders.  I know they've been around for a long time, but for whatever reason I overlooked them before. They're great for getting me out of a creative rut. I also like the idea of creating a whole set of cards with the same color scheme. The series I'm featuring here is based on Jessica Taylor's One Sheet Wonder, which you can find here: https://www.inkitupwithjessica.com/how-to-make-one-sheet-wonder-cards/

I chose a blue/green/yellow striped paper for my one sheet and paired it with Limeade Splash*,  Banana Cream* and Chambray Shirt* card stock.  I always need "guy" cards and this color combo should fit the bill.

These first two cards are made with the 4" x 5 1/4' panels from the large sheet.

I'm almost out of get well cards so for this first one, I chose the Get Well Stamp Set*.  This silly chicken is bound to bring a smile.


Instructions:
For my second card, I chose the Begin Adventure ATS* and paired it with a watercolor background I made some time ago that went well with the paper and the theme.  Since this is sky-themed, I wanted a blue card base so I chose Chambray Shirt cardstock*.
