Good evening.
I hope you are enjoying the Easter weekend.
This is my card for this weeks Less Is More Challenge, which this week is 'Off Centre'.
I finally gave in and bought the Pilkington Woods stamps from Create & Craft recently, so decided to use one of the trees for this challenge.
I stamped the tree onto silk art card using Versamark ink and then embossed with white fine detail embossing powder. I then used my brayer to apply the ink which is Big & Juicy soothing sunset. To try and add a bit of depth to the image, I firstly brayered through an aperture, then removed the aperture and brayered all over the image.
This was then matted onto some gold linen card and orange card stock. White hammered card was used to create the base card. A brown ribbon from my stash was added to the card and a simple knot tied.
I decided not to add a sentiment to make the card more useable.
Thanks for having a look and for any comments you wish to make.

this card is fab, love your brayering!
This looks beautiful Jo, I have just ordered a new brayer, it will be interesting to see if it makes me any better at the process, but at present I am not very proficient to say the least.
Super card!

Great card, love the colour!
Beautiful card, love it
Absolutely gorgeous! Love the tree and the colours you used
It's lovely! The brayered background in that stunning colour makes a great base for the tree.
That's a beautiful tree, and the panel you've created with it is stunning. I'm inspired to try the embossing resist method. So pretty.
The image is wonderful, and I love what you have done with the brayering. I am new to this technique, but learning from that big family of crafters out there. Lovely card. Lynn x
Fab brayering, love the colour and great image!
