CAS: 3 Stamps



The current challenge at Less is More #272 is to use 3 stamps. This could be 3 individual stamps or the same 3 stamps used multiple times.

 

Here is what I made:



I stamped a flourish from the Elements 1 stamp set by Inkilicious on to ivory card and clear heat embossed it. The embossing tool resisted the ink which I applied with a blending tool. I used Memento Bamboo Leaves and Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers.

The butterflies were stamped and heat embossed with detail black powder.  They were coloured with watercolour pencils and then fussy cut. They were attached to the card with foam pads.

The sentiment is from another Inkilicious stamp set, called Reflections - Thinking of You



I would like to enter these challenges:

  10. What an absolutely wonderful card! I thought it was so elegant and I loved the placement of your different elements. It creates a beautiful scene that pairs so nicely with your sentiment. I like how the background has such soft shades and then the butterflies give it a real POW! This card would be ideal for so many situations and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing and reading about how you created it. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
