This is the first time for a while that I have got round to entering the Less is More Challenge. This being the the first week of the month their theme is a colour one, namely Blue and Green, which I believe used to be a taboo combination but seems to be OK now. I think the modern shades make them more compatible. I used a white square base card and used post-it notes with a with a circle die cut from the centre to add an inky background.I used Distress Inks in Shabby Shutters and Bundled Sage. I then Stamped the Hero Arts image over the top with Broken China ink. I can't tell you whose the birthday greetings stamp is because it is a wood mounted stamp with no name on it. I then just added a matching ribbon across the bottom. I apologise for this awful photo, it makes my card look really out of shape but I can assure you it is really square.
I will also enter this at Make it Monday, anything goes.
I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately I was without a computer for most of last week.It's back now with hopefully less gremlins to frustrate me and prevent me from visiting all of your blogs.
Thank you to all who look in and for your lovely comments. Jean
I like blue and green together! Glad you are back in circulation. Nice hero Arts stamp. kate x

ReplyDeleteJean, your Less Is More card is stunning! It has such a tranquil and relaxing feel to it and I love that you explained how you used the post it note as your template. Wonderfully crafted card. :)

Hi Jean, hope your little gremlins don't return - it's really frustrating when your pc is out of action, it's amazing just how much we rely on them these days.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful, I think the blue and green look lovely together and like how you've stamped the blue image over the green background.
Take care
