Less is More challenge

I was really perplexed by this weeks challenge on Less is More.  It’s Week 10 and time for another one-layer challenge.  This time the sentiment has to be the focus of the card.   So after floundering around for a while and sitting with a card blank in front of me for a bit I remembered my new tapestry stamps and decided to give them a go.  So this is my entry:

The sentiment is from the Heard from the Heart Stampin’Up! set and I’ve let my new Color Coach pick the colours: Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Melon Mambo (actually I added that one…but I think it works).

I was really pleased with how this turned out.  So much so in fact, I let Color Coach pick some more colours for me and made another one, this time with Old Olive (one of my faves), Marina Mist, Real Red and Cajun Craze!

  12. I love these! When I use tapestry stamps, it generally looks a bit muddy and cluttered - I need to get the hang of using them like this - perfect! Beautiful colours, too!

  15. It may appear easy, but those tapestry stamps are really difficult to get to look at home with each other... it's a real skill which you have down to a fine art.
    Two great cards... see... we're stretching your imagination with our challenges, which may appear difficult to begin with!
    Wonderful!
