This week' is One Layer week at
Less is More. Having had a wonderful day at the NEC with Chrissie, Lady LIMette herself, I decided to play with some new stamps I got yesterday and came up with this Thank You card. As ever, I love my tree stamps and I found a brilliant new (to me) stamp company called Inky Doodles with some amazing stamps that create patterns. Along with the patterns, I ended up with some solid topiary shapes which work really well for kiss stamping.
I used a WOW dotty stamp to kiss stamp onto the tree and added a Hero Arts sentiment. The green inks are Olympia Green Versafine, with some Distress Ink in Evergreen Bough around the edges. There was just too much white space (sorry LIM!) so I added a double embossed line along 2 sides.
I'm also entering the following challenges:
CAS-ual Friday - embossing
Challenges and Candies - clean and simple
Simple Create Too - give thanks
Simon Says - clean and simple
I don't think I was signed in when I wrote my last comment, so I'd better start again!

Thanks for the white space comment... its so hard to leave cards alone with a lot of white space, but doesn't thant embossing make the card more elegant?
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely card - I don't have an embossing machine, and can't afford one at the moment, but I do think that people (you included!) have some beautiful elegant effects using embossing.
