LESS IS MORE



Hello everyone and have a card inspired by a challenge over at simply less is more - week 67 one layer - using three stamps and keeping it clean and simple. This is my first one layer card to be shown on my blog and I enjoyed doing this as sometimes I think we get carried away with lots of layers and embellishments so it is nice to go back to basics.The stamps I used were Hero Arts and two block stamps which I have from a collection of these stamps that I picked up in a sale but do not know where they are from. I have a collection of different solid shapes and are ideal for this type of project.

The other three items I used were Archival Ink "Jet Black, Versafine Ink "Toffee" and a Sakura Glaze Pen 819.


Take Care and enjoy the rest of your day

JUST A LITTLE NOTE


Hope everyone is ready to ejoy their weekend even though it looks like it will be another wet one and to think this time  last week I was sunning it in Florida.
Today's card has a bit of  a  distressed look for the polkadoodle challenge week 18 and using Marianne Design dies and
 Stamp Doodles.My daughter has been 1 year in her apartment so as there is no such cards for such an occasion I thought this would suit the marking of the 1 year anniversary.
Have a good weekend and take care
