Less is More!!!

Hope you are having a lovely restful Sunday,

the weather has been lovely here today, so good in fact, we took a little walk along the beach to the ice-cream van at the harbour!! It was very nice too :)

I am really getting into these less is more challenges - I think they take a lot more thought than the 'pile it on' cards!!

The challenge is to make a one layer card with fur or feathers on it.  I think I did quite well because my daughter ran her finger over it to check it really was one layer! :)

 I have found that DL card blanks are really good to use for clean and simple cards - not too much space to use.  

First, I stamped the bird (from my new stamp set - bird script, by Papermania)

Then masked it and stamped the music over the top.

I then masked the top and bottom with post it notes and used distress inks to colour the band across the card.

I dabbed black around the edges of the bird to lift it off the background a bit.

Lastly, I used a thin black pen to do wiggly lines top and bottom a la Barbara Gray!! lol!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Less is More - One layer card with fur or feathers

Stampalot - Take flight

Thanks very much for visiting
