The bottom half of this card has been dry embossed using a
We R memory keepers Next Level embossing folder BUT it's not
showing up too well on the photo which is frustrating. I've loosely watercoloured
some blooms from the Altenew Vintage Flowers set which adds an element of
texture along with the gold heat embossed detail. The large sentiment is by
My Favourite Things with the 'Today' from Uniko.
I'd like to link this one up at the Muse Card Challenge and although
Tracey has used a one layer card I was inspired by the gorgeous colours
on her card and tried to recreate that look here.
This one uses the same stencil as my first card but this time I've
fuzzy cut a couple of leaves having used coloured texture paste.
A little detail is added to the top of the card with distress ink and splatters.
The Dragonfly is from Clearly Besotted along with the sentiment and I've
added a couple of accents using Pretty Pink Post sequins and gem from my stash
I must be mad but went texture-crazy this week so here's another!
Here I've added texture to a piece of watercolour card using a Cuttlebug Stars
embossing folder. Blended with various blue shades of distress inks over the
embossed area then spritzed with water to remove some colour and brushed
perfect pearls over the top. The sentiments are from the Clearly Besotted Stamp &
Die set (Happy Birthday) and there's a few doodlebug sprinkles and gems to finish.
I hope you feel inspired to create some texture and there's more
superb examples on the main Less is More blog HERE
Thanks as always for calling by and have a wonderful crafty weekend.
Fabulous cards Sarah each one so beautifully made especially love the first one gorgeous texture and the gold sentiment works beautifully.
