I haven't entered the Less is More challenge for a few weeks now and thought it was high time I got myself into gear and entered! This week is a one layer card using inks in a way you haven't used them before. I did do something I haven't done before but I haven't used inks I've used chalks - I hope I'm still allowed to enter?? Anyhow, I have had these chalks forever and decided this was a good time to give them a go. I used the teeny cotton wool type balls that came with them to put the chalk onto the card using a nestie as a rough guide for the area I wanted to cover. I then simply stamped the tree over the top and then added the sentiment (the right way up! - the first one I did was upside down doh!!)
The tree is from the Kanban stamp set Spring Silhouettes and the sentiment is from Heard from the Heart from Stampin Up.
Thanks for looking.
Ooooooooooooooooooooh, me likey, me likey alot. xxx
ReplyDeleteI haven't chalked in like FOREVER! It's such a simple technique but looks fabulicious :-D xx
ReplyDeleteI love using chalks and your chalking certainly has been the perfect background for your image! x
ReplyDeleteWell I suppose you've used the chalks like inks... so maybe we can forgive you!
ReplyDeleteThe card looks great!
Thanks so much
