Less is More Week 19 - One Layer

Hi LIMettes!

Wow there are already well over 200 entries this week! such is the popularity of this challenge and its a great one - all credit to Chrissy and Mandi.  Lovin' your inspiration ladies and again the standard of entries is brilliant!

So here is my little card - believe it or not I spent ages on this one yesterday!! Doesn't look it though!


Recipe
Card blank: Craftwork Cards
Stamp: Artemio
Inks: Memento: Lulu Lavender and New Sprout
Shimmer: All purpose ink: Champagne Mist by Stampin up
Glossy Accents

I do quite like the two-tone stamping effect easy peasy just dab your colours over different sections of the stamp and it doesn't matter if you go over an area with both colours either!  I do love this stamp and it was in its own ready made "frame" but I wanted to highlight that a bit more.  You can't really see it in these photos but I went over the border edge of the frame with my stylus to emboss it and then I dipped the stylus in the all purpose ink and went over the lines again.  I also dipped my finger in the ink and swiped it over certain parts of the image I think you can see it a little better in this photo:-

Enjoy the rest of your day and..

Happy Crafting...

    Oh, Tina, I love the softness of this, and I am a sucker for any card with a script-y look to it. It's wonderful!
