"Less is More" - Week #259 - theme week

 Welcome to this week's challenge at "Less is More", this week we are challenging you to use the stamp kissing technique.  I found this a real challenge, it's not a technique I use and I struggled to find stamps in my stash to use.  Looking forward to seeing how to get the best from this technique when the LIMettes get to grips with this challenge!

First card uses an Elusive Images stamp set for the stamp kissing.  The solid circles were inked with Memento Pear Tart and then overstamped with flowers from the same set, inked with Memento Danube Blue.  I cut the circles out with stitched circles dies.  Inked up a scrap with Pear Tart and die cut a curvy Die-namics stem from it which I inset into navy cardstock.

My second card uses a SU solid stamp called Flower Accent, inked with Memento Cantaloupe and overstamped with a Paper Artsy script stamp and Memento Ladybug.  I cut the flowers out by hand and added them to a circle embossed with a Cuttlebug script folder, edged with Cantaloupe.  I bought the sentiment a few years back at the NEC, brand says Different Colors.Again, sentiment was cut out by hand (aren't we lucky to have so many dies available for stamps these days!).
