This is for Val's Dog Days of Summer VSN challenge to create a one layer card. This one is actually a layer adhered to the card base.
I stamped the Hampton Art Bird House on the packing material I was using to protect my work surface. I liked the crinkles in the paper and thought it added a lot of texture. I used acrylic paints to color the image and coated it with glossy Mod Podge, although I grabbed the glossy by mistake. I attached it to the card base at a slight angle and trimmed the edges. I added the Hero Arts Everyday Sayings sentiment, stamped with Stazon to avoid smearing.
As always, thanks for looking!

Love the crinkled paper Jody, and you did a nice job with the acrylic paints. I've only used them for backgrounds. I'll have to try this. Thanks for making this cute card for my VSN challenge!
