Good afternoon all, I do hope Tursday is treating you well, it has been a lovely day here today...and the dogs have really enjoyed spending most of their day in the garden..
Today I set aside some time to make my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge....
http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk
It is One Layer Card Week
And the theme is Home...
Oh how can you resist joining in????
Here is my design.
I decided to use a 6x6 card blank .....,
The first thing I did was to make a mask for this gorgeous Quirky Cottage stamp from Clarity.
Then came the stamping...I used black Archival ink..
Next the masks...
The reason for the masks is that I wanted to use the brick stencil behind the stamped images..
I do love Sail Boat Blue Adirondack ink...when the stencil is removed ...this is what we have...
To finish off I just added some colour using Spectrum Noir Pencils and then I did have to use my Charcoal pencils just to add a little depth...
I do think the shadow makes all the difference...
So there we are my ...take on a Clean and Simple ...one layer card....with plenty of white space.....
Do hope you agree...
I do love to read your lovely comments....and I would love it even more if you joined in with the challenge...

Enjoy your evening...
Much love,

Oh, this is fantastic. I love the stenciled brickwork, especially in blue, and the charcoal shadowing really does add so much.
