This week's Less is More challenge is....
ONE LAYER CARD
The theme for your cards this week is
LEAVES
I love leaves and have lots to choose from. Since I'm mainly working on my Christmas cards, I pulled out the holly leaves.
The holly bough is stamped with StazOn and colored by swiping a marker on an acrylic block and using a blender pen to apply the ink to the design. The berries were colored directly with the marker and the sentiment was inked with markers.
This card has more of a vintage feel without all the embellishments. I used my Simply Scored to create a lattice below the design. If I were to do this again, I think I would use brighter colors.
Card Recipe
Stamps: Bells and Boughs
Ink: Jet Black StazOn, Always Artichoke, SU Markers (Always Artichoke, Real Red, Soft Suede)
Paper: Very Vanilla
Other: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Blender Pen, Simply Scored
Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments and look forward to visiting your blogs.
Enjoy!
I'm feeling really guilty that I haven't got going on my personal Christmas cards this year as yet... I like to send all the same and I haven't come up with a design to date!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Bonnie... I personally prefer Olive Green in Stazon to the Forest Green... I think it's a much warmer shade, what colour did you use?
Love the embossing!
Thanks so much for your kind words on my blog, I truly appreciate it!

ReplyDeleteLovely card, Bonnie....I really like what the scoring adds to the bottom of the card. I still need to finish up some cards for Christmas, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card, Bonnie!! Love the embossing on the bottom...love how it allows for a small stamp, but makes the one layer so much lovelier:)!!
