Less is More - Mask


The Less is More challenge this week is to use a mask. I stamped the Hero Arts stamp with versa mark and used white embossing powder. I then cut a circle to use as a mask and used Distess inks to create the blue circle. I used a white  card and found that it was too white for the embossed image so I used Distress ink to colour the rest of the card. I cut the frame from water colour paper which added a little texture and also was too white and a little cord.

Faux silk snowman


The Inkadinkado snowman was first stamped on white paper and cut out. The snowman was then stamped onto white tissue, which was crumpled and stuck over the paper snowman. The tissue was then stuck over a piece of light blue card which had been stamped with snowflakes. This card was then matted onto silver card and stuck onto a base card. The sentiment was then stamped onto the tissue and embossed with silver embossing powder.
The challenge on Less is More is "the colour of your eyes". My eyes are bluey grey, hence the light blue and silver.
This week's Crafty Creations challenge is to create a CAS card.

I've inked a panel with worn lipstick and spun sugar distress ink and stamped with worn lipstick on the panel. The heart and sentiment were stamped and embossed with gold ep. Roses and bow from stash added.
