2026: TapeRunner One Layer Birthday Card [Card #128]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
Today I'm sharing a ONE layer card that I created for a friend's birthday. 
 
Now--- one layer cards should be easy to make: cut paper, add to cardbase, done. And there is nothing wrong with that... but I like to add a bit more! I wanted to ink the background but leave the image alone so I could color it... and then I wanted to add a bit of glitter... and I needed a sentiment... THEN I could add this panel to the cardbase 😂  

Here are a few steps that I did to create this card: 
I probably spent 30 mins trying to figure out what colors I wanted to use for the base... and in the end, I didn't use two of the colors and cut off one more so the base would fit the card size! LOL! 
I masked the image so I could create a blended background... what I didn't realize was that there would be a white outline around my image because the die cut is a tad bit bigger than the image itself 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was shocked and wondered what I would do to fix this... but in the end... I really liked how this turned out:) 
This is the final step of creating this one layer card- stamping the sentiment and adding it to my cardbase using TapeRunner adhesive. Now that was EASY
This card was kind of easy to make but super scary too because I don't normally do cards like this! 
Scary because one coloring or ink blending mistake and I'd have to start over! 
Scary because I didn't know (or realize) my mask would leave a white border! 
EASY because I can trust my TapeRunner adhesive to stick strong and make this card last!!!
