Less is More 30 Take Three
Posted: August 28, 2011 Filed under: CAS, Garden silhouettes 21 CommentsThe Less is More challenge this week is to revisit three of their previous challenges, combining them in one new card. I was inspired by a clever and vibrant card by Lydia of Understand Blue.
I revisited the following Less is More challenges:
- Week 6. Off the Edge
- Week 13. Thank you or Congratulations
- Week 28. Use Ink
I masked the top and bottom of the card with post-its then accepted the challenge to use ink in a new way. I rarely use the direct to paper effect with an ink pad but it does make a bold stripe of colour. After swiping the three ink pads I added the silhouette, removed the masks and added the sentiment.
Thank you to all the kind visitors who drop by here. I appreciated your comments regarding the weddings where my girls have been playing violin. The one last week in a garden did have great weather and all went beautifully. They are playing at the last one today; it was also meant to be outside, on a porch overlooking a beautiful garden. When I dropped them off it was beginning to rain and was also windy so I imagine the wedding was moved inside. If you are interested I have posted photos of my girls on my family blog.
Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Silhouettes, Thankyou Kindly (SU)
Inks: Not quite Navy, More Mustard, Ruby Red (SU), Versafine Black Onyx
Cardstock: Flourishes Classic Ivory

Beautiful card! I think this might be a little out of your comfort range, but you did a lovely job of it! I love the colors you used, and the stamp set is one of my favorites. This is very, very pretty!
This is perfect, Heather! I had admired that card of Lydia’s, too, and you did it more than justice. Too bad Irene got in the way of that last outdoor wedding.
Love your postings. CAS is wonderful! Thanks.
Very striking technique. The colours are fab and I love the silhouetted images. x
A superb card Heather – a very effective inking technique and glorious colours.

What a brilliant effect the swiping you card base with ink pads gives – must have a go at this! Your silhouetted plants look fantastic against this background.
Super card Heather, your inked background looks fab. Carol x
Absolutely beautiful, I must try that ink technique.
Gorgeous stamping, and great colouring technique!
I actually prefer your design to the one you cased. A great card – must try that technique.
Love how you altered the dresses for your girls too – very creative.
