Less is More challenge 6: Off the Edge
Posted: March 15, 2011 Filed under: CAS, With Gratitude 16 Comments
The challenge at Less is More this week is a One Layer Card which includes stamping off the edge. I often stamp off the edge of my cards so you would think I could whip one of these out quickly. Sadly it took three attempts before I had something I was happy with. I have a growing pile of “blunders” that I have to turn into something attractive.
I masked with post-it notes leaving a long thin panel to stamp on. Before sponging I stamped the leaf four times, some without reinking. Then I sponged in four colours and removed the masks. I added the sentiment and three more leaves to complete the card. Who knows why I am stamping fall colours just as spring is appearing?
Supplies:
Stamps: With Gratitude, Thoughts & Prayers (SU)
Inks: Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust, Close to Cocoa
Cardstock: Flourishes Classic Ivory

This is just stunning! I love the leaves being both within the colour and overflowing it. So effective.

I subscribe to your blog Heather and when I get the little message saying something new has been posted on your blog I really do get quite excited! You never disappoint (no pressure now!) and this card is no exception. I love the colours, the graduated sponging and that gorgeous leaf. I used to have With Gratitude and miss it!
