Less is More Alphabet 316

G'day from Sydney

There is a new challenge up at Less is More and it's all about the alphabet. I have had a small background stamp from Hampton Art by 7gypsies that I have never used and thought this challenge would be the perfect time to ink it up.  First I stamped the Sydney Opera House from Darkroom Door onto a piece of white cardstock, stamped it again on masking paper and cut it out. Placed the mask over the image, stamped the cities of the world background using my Misti to make sure I had a good impression. I then stamped the g'day from the same Darkroom Door set and attached it to a black card base. Was going to just have it all white but I think I like the contrast of the black.
This must be the first card in months I have not coloured  my image and I glad I tried something different.

    Wow, this is stunning! What a stylish and dramatic design. It reminds me of old posters with beautiful typefaces and monochrome colour palettes - it looks absolutely great! Love it! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

    This is a very cool design! Love the crisp black and white and the silhouette of the opera house really works with the text background. Thank you for sharing with us at Less is More :)

    Having been fortunate to visit Australia and stay in Sydney this reminds me so much of my visit. Fantastic bold card but retaining its CASness.

    This is so bold, fresh and impactful Jeanette. Beautifully crisp stamping and you were definitely right to go with monochromatic on this one. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx

AAA Cards Cas Challenge

Image
Have a Fabulous Birthday I have been messing around with watercolours so this challenge fits right in. The stamp is from Penny black  called Divine and was such fun to colour. I heat embossed the image with white embossing powder and then just played with different colours. Used a paint set I bought from my local Hot Dollar store ages ago and though they are not the greatest I had fun. Watercolouring is fun as you do not want it to be perfect and I love the patterns the paint creates. Different every time. The sentiment is from Stampin' ups Thoughtful Banners set. It is great for making up your own sayings as the words are all separate. I white embossed it on black card to give the card some contrast. I am entering the card into the Cas Game #84 Watercolour challenge. I am also adding it to Uniko Studio Happy 5th Birthday party Link.
