Better late than never...

Well, I finally managed to make a card for the latest Less is More challenge where the theme is Masking. I made a one layer card using post its to mask off a sun within a section of the card. I used Adirondack inks in mountain rose, denim and lake mist with my ink dusters. I then removed the masking and stamped with Inkylicious flower and sentiment stamps.
 I used a touch of white gel pen and some cotton candy stickles to add a bit of interest. I'd never made a card in this style before seeing one of Chrissie's nearly 15 months ago, here. I now make them very regularly - thanks, Chrissie for the inspiration. Thanks for looking and I hope to visit some of my fellow LIMettes after Karate tomorrow night.

    It's just stunning Sally and the stickles is a nice tough to highlight the flower stem.

    But you did take away a bit of my fun naming the colours - spoilsport !

    This is stunning, Sally. I love the shaded colour on your panel and that stamp is amazing. I love Inkylicious. Bought loads from them at Harrogate last Saturday.
    Hope you have a good weekend.

    This is a perfect card for the challenge, Sally. You have really mastered the technique too. I never really got down to that challenge this week - the garden got in the way. Thank you for your visit tonight and your kind comments on my moonlight scene. They are much appreciated. Good luck. xx Maggie

    I missed yours Sally! It's fabulous - the plant stands out beautifully from the background and that is a great use of Cotton Candy stickles too. Vicky x
