Anything CAS Goes at "Less is More"

This sweetie of an image is a digi  from A Day for Daisies, I think that these little guys look decidedly cute. Simply coloured, it needs little else besides a simple greeting.
Totally Papercrafts - Clean and Simple
I thought I would support the challenge sponsored by my chum Mandi this week!
This one is another simple design using Stampin' Up stamps. The vase is made from a bauble stamp, the base part of it was masked with Selotape before inking which I removed before stamping with Versamark and then embossing with fine detail gold embossing powder.
It was punched out with the SU bauble punch and the the excess at the base simply snipped off. I like it when stamps can be utilised in different ways.
 
Although I have several digi images very similar in style to this one, this is in fact a stamp. Again it is simply coloured with distress inks, applied with a water brush.
Each of these cards is exactly the same layout, but each looks slightly different because of the shape and presentation of the images.
This week we are trying to see if every follower of "Less is More" could submit to our challenge, which would make over 1000 entries... regular contributors will probably helps us on our way by entering more than once, but it will be interesting to see how many submissions we get.
Why don't you join us? Anything CAS Goes!

  43. Three great cards. How clever you are at thinking 'outside of the box' for your flower in the vase card - I would never have thought of using a bauble stamp as a vase in a million years. Sue.x
