After completing the weekly ironing I've been crafting!
My first post is all about "Less is More" they are celebrating their 200th challenge - congratulations to Chrissie and the design team. This is one of the first challenges that I entered and this year I have tried to enter each week (so far, so good!). To celebrate the them is "Celebration". I decided to design a card as a tribute to a regular criteria on the blog - the One Layer Card. I've grown to love the challenge of creating one layer cards - the results are not always great but they always involve a lot of thinking!
This is it:
 |
| The complete star has clear Wink of Stella for sparkle - it doesn't show in the photograph |
Distress Inks - tumbled glass, peacock feathers, salty ocean.
Stampin Up - Not Quite Navy ink
Stampin Up - Gorgeous grunge stamp set.
Clearly Besotted - Many Messages stamp set
The layout is based on the sketch challenge at STAMPlorations
I'm also going to enter the challenge at Addicted to CAS where the code word is Dots.
Enjoy!
