Apologies for being awol last week but we took a last minute break down to Lincolnshire and although I took some crafty bits with me they remained largely untouched for the week! So a belated thanks to everyone who left me birthday wishes the week before, I was very spoilt on the day - loads of cards, lovely pressies and a champagne afternoon tea at a posh hotel :)
This week at Less is More we have to produce a OLC using ink - I'm with Mandi on this one - I don't do messy and have never applied ink direct to a card before unless attached to a stamp! Here is my attempt:
I masked off the corner using the waste from a scalloped nestie cut out and used three ink pads from a Colour Box palette. Using stamps from Words with Honey I then stamped the dandelion, butterfly and sentiment in black versafine ink. I probably should have used smooth card for this but I do like the textured effect in real life.
Challenges entered:
