Less is More ‘Off Centre’
Posted: April 23, 2011 Filed under: Berry Branch, CAS 39 Comments
It has been a few weeks since I managed to play along with the Less is More challenge so it is nice to be involved again. Whether you play along or not the blog is an excellent source of inspiration with hundreds of entries every week. This week the challenge is to create an off centre layout. I really like assymmetrcial layouts so this asymmetrical branch stamp from Penny Black was the perfect choice for the challenge.
I inked the stamp with cherry cobbler and then inked the branches on the stamp with early espresso. By stamping once and then stamping again twice more without re-inking I created a shadowy effect. I added a little fold of riboon too as it needed something extra but not much more.
Supplies:
Stamps: Berry Branch (Penny Black), Taglines (Flourishes)
Inks: Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso
Cardstock: SU Confetti White, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip
Also: Chocolate grosgrain ribbon

Beautiful! You’re right about that stamp being perfect to use off-center. The cherry & chocolate you chose look beautiful together, and I’m sure they look even richer in real life. The ribbon is just the right touch to add to, but not detract from, the lovely stamp and shadowing. Gorgeous card!
Gorgeous card 🙂 The image is beautiful and the cherry and chocolate together are yummy :-)I love this 🙂
luv

Heather it’s great to see you again and this is beautiful. What a gorgeous stamp.
There’s something a little spooky about your ribbon treatment however… I’ve never seen it done before quite like that… yet I did exactly the same thing myself on a card I made yesterday… how odd is that!
Have a wonderful week.
