The Less is More challenge this week is a color challenge...
I've got to admit, I was stumped. Finally an idea came to mind.
I used the vines from the Creative Elements set, stamped with Encore silver ink and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder.
The butterfly and silver mat are from some beautiful Japanese papers that a friend gave me a few months ago. She moved to the US from Japan about a year ago. I met her at the Newcomers club and she came to our papercrafting classes a couple of times. She is so delightful! Generous too! These papers are so awesome that I almost hate to use them!
Can you see the shine?
