Less is More - Week 211 - one layer

Our one layer challenge this week at Less is More has the theme of Love.  I've made quite a few red/pink lurve cards recently and decided it was time for a change!  I brushed broad swathes of Aquatint inks across a linen textured card and then used WOW superfine platinum embossing powder for the brilliant sentiment, from Unity Stamps.  I coloured the key words, 'chocolate bar' with a watercolour pen and added a handful of tiny silver sequins.

Astonishingly, this idea worked first time out and I didn't need to have several loads of attempts at it.  I'm really pleased with it, hope you like it too :)

  8. Love the card and sentiment. Also, that you were able to complete it in one try. I have yet to be able to do that. Where did you get your sentiment from?
