Less is More

Hello,

I sure do hope this post publishes today! lol! OMG how bad was the weather yesterday?? It never stopped raining here all day and from what I have seen I think it was like that across most of the country, those poor I.O.W festival goers...

Anyway, talking of the Island, I am entering in Mandi (who lives on the I.O.W ;-)) and Chrissie's Less is More challenge and this week it is One Layer plus a border.

 I even managed to pay enough attention and fulfil all the criteria too! get me! he he he!

So, I have been playing with Engraved Greetings again, this stamp set is such a brilliant bargain at just £12.95 for this one and a Happy Birthday one too, more on that tomorrow ;-)

This stamp set is great for both boys and girls and just so elegant. It is tucked away on page 86 if you fancy a look the link is under Catalogues and Ordering across the top of this blog.

O.K. first card is a 6"x6" one, the stamp was inked using my Markers to get the mixed colour look in Concord Crush, Melon Mambo with just a touch of Pear Pizzazz and not forgetting the couple of Basic Rhinestones I used to bling it up a little ;-)

inside I made the border a little wider and stamped the image without re-inking it for a washed out look to compliment (I hope) the outside,

and this second one is just under 4" square, I think I prefer this one,

no second stamping inside due to the small size but I did add some doodling to finish and not forgetting the bling on here too :-)

Well, that's todays cards for you, I have plenty of crafting to do today now I have finished the ton of washing Josh brought home with him yesterday!

Thanks for stopping by today,

Stampin' Hugs,
