Less is More - Week 167

After a rather roller-coaster week, here are my cards for this week's Less is More Challenge, this week is One Layer week and the challenge is Shadow Stamping.  I must apologise for the poor quality photos, I didn't get a chance to do these until it was dark!  Both cards have something in common: they use neglected stash.

First card uses Card-Io tapestry stamps to make a floral wreath, the twigs, flowers and leaves are all stamped several times without re-inking.  Some of the flower centres have Stickles added.  I haven't added a sentiment to this card, though it's meant to be an Easter wreath, I felt it was looking quite busy enough...
Second card uses my Inkadinkado Stamping Gear, with repeat stamping under an embossed line.  The sentiment is Hero Arts and I added some gems to the flower centres.

I've really enjoyed all the Touch of Turquoise cards and I'm looking forward to lots of lovely LIMette cards with shadow stamping.  Also looking forward to a trip to Ally Pally with Chrissie!

  3. I like the second one better. Repeat stamping is new each time. The score line adds definition. Do tell us about your trip. The name itself sounds fun.
    Have a great weekend.
