Less Is More - One Layer Card

Good Evening

Must start my post by congratulating Manchester City on winning the FA cup. There's been great excitement in our house, even Murphy joined in!



Thank you to everyone who visited my blog and commented on my last LIM card. Unfortunately a lot of comments were lost due to the problems with blogger this week.

This is my entry for this weeks Less Is More challenge.


I used dark blue cardstock which I dry embossed using the Majestic embossing board. I then stamped the dandelion clocks from the Inkylicious Meadowbreeze set of stamps. I stamped using versamark and then heat embossed using fine detail silver embossing powder.

The sentiment was also stamped in versamark and heat embossed using the same embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I'm off to have a look at the other entries.
