This weeks Less is More challenge is the dreaded One Layer with the theme of foliage.
Am I getting more comfortable with this theme, hmm am not sure, but after watching Barbara Gray last week I did think it was time to use my stamps a lot more and have a go masking and inking. I didnt go as far as getting the brayer out but did have a go with a sponge, nestie and some post-its.
The sentiment stamp is from Clarity but the leaf stamp is from a poinsettia set by Sheena Douglas. Used Adirondack Lettuce and Memento Rich Cocoa for the inking and stamping.
Hope everyone is having a fab weekend and enjoying the sunshine :)

Very elegant card. I like the sentiment being the focal point on this card, well done.
Gorgeous card. Love the colours, and the rays are really effective.
How lovely, I like the effect of your inking, like rays is sunshine through leaves, very pretty.
Snap! Love the way you`ve inked the rays. Fabulous.

Hola Suzilou, thank you for your kind comment:D, i'm glad to see you.
Oooh Suzi, what beautiful card and what fantastic technique, i love the "sunny" effect in the corner, a very elegant and gorgeous card, good work Suzilou.
A hug from Palma and i hope to see you again.
This turned out beautiful and you're much braver than me with the CAS! Love the lines that look a bit like sunrays!

fab card - that is a lovely sentiment and the rays are very effective
GORGEOUS ! ! !
So like your embossed frame, wish I could get the same effect. Great shaded lines on the background and the sentiment is super, especially when its done on linen card-stock, mine stamping always has bits missing. A brilliant card.
Fantastic panel Sulilou, the inking is superb and that embossing finishes it of
Just FAB
Thanks very much

And what an amazing result Suzilou! I love your slanting rays of sunshine and that IS the colour you get when the sun shines through the leaves. Vicky x

Your card is lovely, fab choice of colour and you've created such a beautiful effect.
I recently treated myself to a Splodgemat and use my brayer a lot more now. I couldn't bear to waste all the ink before, and I get better results all round now. Just thought I'd mention it - hope you don't mind :)

You've achieved a fabulous effect. I want to try the "ray" effect sometime.

Comfortable or not, I love the outcome. Great card!
And isn't it tradition that the sun starts to shine when the school starts again? Overhere really is always the case.
