We're back to a colour challenge at Less is More this week. And the colour is
I wanted to do something new for this challenge too. So I made this card.
Neutrals
This could be anything from off white to black with any shade of beige brown or gray in between.
I dug into that UFO box and found this design I did last year and never put on a card. The stamp set has been retired, but it's one that will stay in my collection.
I wanted to do something new for this challenge too. So I made this card.
I played around with the new Labels Framelits dies and found that I could emboss with it. I was so excited to do it that I forgot to write down what I used for shims. LOL, I can't remember what I used!
I stamped the cross with Chocolate Chip ink on a scrap of Naturals Ivory and die cut it with a Framelit. I cut 2 more of the same size Framelits from scraps of Chocolate Chip to make a mat for the design. All this is adhered with dimensionals. Stamped the sentiment and it was done.
All supplies are Stampin' Up!

I tried to link yesterday's card at Styles Ink for the OLW challenge and wasn't able to get my card to link up. I see that Inlinkz has some changes going on and thought I did what needed to be done. Anyone have any suggestions? Isn't that always the way? If something works well, change it!
Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy!
Both cards are the perfect samples of less is more. Those is simple white flowers on crumb cake are gorgeous and the addition of an embossed frame is all the embellishment that the second card needs.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Bonnie! I particularly like that blossom branch.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely Bonnie, the colour choices are superb!

Two fab cards, Bonnie...but I think that the first one is my favorite! Of course the framing on the second card is pretty cool too!
ReplyDeleteStunning Easter blossoms!! Love that you colored them in with a white pen. And the cross is super elegant, with all the flourishes within it.
