The first one features a stamp from Penny Black. The sentiment is by Wordsworth.
While I had the blue ink out, I tried another version featuring two birds on a branch by Penny Black. Sentiment by Hero Arts.
Next card used a similar color palette, but I liked the background so much, I left it alone and just added a sentiment from Wordsworth.
The last one I tried something a bit different. I did the usual inked acrylic block, but rather than stamping the main image in black, I colored the image with markers and then added it to the right. I love the way it turned out. Main image by Penny Black, sentiment from Wordsworth.

These are SO gorgeous Melissa! I just made about 15 of them yesterday myself, thanks to you showing us how to make them. And it's funny to see the music stamp used in the background, because I was going to try that next. :) My cards are going to be used for card ministry, so I think the music will be a nice touch. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work and talent!
I would love to know how you did these. Care to share?
Thanks Monica! I am glad you were able to create so many cards! I love that I sparked something that you could use for your card ministry. What a great way to create many cards with so many variations possible!
Lynn...I am happy to share how I made them. I will be traveling for a few days, but when I return, I will create a step-by-step!
Love these cards - simple elegance! Please do share how you did them as I have a lot of Scripture stamps that would look lovely on a card like this!!

Melissa, just found your cards on Pinterest and I love them. Could you share your technique on how you get the various colors on the card? Thanks...
Hello Maureen,
I did a tutorial on an earlier post for one of them. Most of them use the same technique, just different color inks. You can find that other post here: http://melissascreations.blogspot.com/2012/10/one-layer-card-tutorial.html
Melissa, your cards are beautiful! I just found them through Pinterest. I'm looking forward to browsing your archives! They seem to stop in 2013, I think.. I hope your well and will start blogging again. If you changed your blog site I would love to know. Thank you for your inspiration! Sherry
Melissa I love these cards and the colour combinations. I have read you have posted a tutorial on how to create these effects using an acrylic block , inks and spritzing but haven't been able to find it. Please could you point me in the right direction or give me verbal instructions.
Thank you.
