3 Squares Challenge

I think that my mojo may have made a return!

I have just discovered Less is More, a challenge blog, with the aim of keeping it CAS (clean and simple). This week's challenge is 3 squares.

I am quite pleased with this card and my hubby likes it to!

I must admit that the colour was not going to be Perfect Plum. I had intended to make the squares Baja Breeze but had forgot to clean my brayer!!!!

I made a mask from grid paper using the 1 3/8" sqaure punch.


SUPPLIES:
Stamp Set: Pocket Silhouettes
Card: Whisper White, Perfect Plum
Ink: Baja Breeze - on top of an unclean brayer! Black Staz On, Versamark
Accessories: Black Journaler pen, clear embossing powder


THe tidying the craft room has gone well and I have even managed to put all my scraps into polypockets labelled with the colour - I have a lot of scraps. Maybe I should take a picture of the bulging file. I do aim to use up as much of the scraps as possible.

I seem to keep the tiniest piece of card - good for punching out little things, so keep coming back to see if I have used some scraps!

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stampin'

Elaine

    You sound like a kindred spirit Elaine... I keep scraps to use up the tiniest pieces and I also love the stamp set you have used for this card.
    I used mine in a very similar manner recently!
    Love the drawn rectangle with the sentiment inserted part way.
    Lovely card!
    Thanks for joining us and we hope to see you next week!

    I really like the colour (even if it was accidental) and these are some of my favourite stamps. The rectangle is beautifully done, with the sentiment positioned perfectly. Lovely!

    We were thinking the same thing! My card is SO much like yours even though I only saw it for the first time after I had already posted mine. Even the order in which the images are stamped are the same! A bit spooky really LOL :)

    I keep trying that drawn border with the sentiment in it but mine just doesn't turn out like yours! I love your masked and brayered card and worth not cleaning your brayer I think for the lovely surprise colour!
