Home...

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,

Jo. xxx

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