It's week 60 now over at 'Less is More' & it's
a recipe this time which is...........
Take three challenges
We have to combine three challenges from previous
weeks so I chose the following.
I used my new Artemio clear stamps & stamped
three of the flower heads onto a layer of card. I hand
drew the stems as I found the stem stamp parts a bit
thick and blurry looking when stamped...so annoying
that. I then used some chalk to add interest. I
punched a butterfly and coloured it in a matching
Promarker. I stamped the sentiment ( Jane's script),
using the same blue ink as one of the flower heads
(Ultramarine). A little glamour dust on the edge of
the flowers & a few coloured pearls completed
the card. I used little 3d pads to raise the main image
layer too.
Such a busy time this next week,including a funeral,
days away, baby sitting , trips to my sons & an Easter
egg hunt & meal I always host for all our children etc. at
the weekend too.So that's why I had to make my card
so early.Happy crafting everyone !
