Saturday has come around again and it is time for a colour challenge from Less is More this week - Earthtones. My first card uses a Memory Box die with some twine and a Little Claire stamp, I love this die, one of my favourites.
I bought some stencils and embossing paste at Portsmouth last week and have really enjoyed playing with it. Second card uses a Sweet Poppy cat stencil. I've embossed it, then replaced the stencil over it when the image was dry and brushed Pan Pastels on top, to give tabby cat markings. The silk ribbon is from my stash.
Third card is also stencilled, this time in glossy black paste. I used the same Pan Pastels colours to make the background and added a Stampin' Up sentiment.
A beautiful collection of cards.

ReplyDeleteSuper cards all three, but I'm so drawn to the first card with the multiple die cuts - brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I love how you worked that first card. That is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThe back ground on the second card is beautiful. The black stencil really pops off the card.
