My card for today is my entry into this weeks Less is More Challenge which this week is to make a Thank You or Congratulations card.
For my card I have used the Meadow Breeze stamp set from Inkylicious.
I used hammered white cardstock for the base card (my current favourite!!). I brayered some silk art card with Hydrangea Big And Juicy Ink then stamped the images with versamark ink and heat embossed with white fine detail embossing powder. I then stamped some more images using black ink.
The words 'thank you' use silver peel-offs. I have phases of using peel offs, and I particularly like the font on these. Unfortunately, I can't print directly to card as my printer won't take card stock.
I couldn't help thinking I should add something to all that white space, but I suppose that would take away from it being a clean and simple card so I sat on my hands!
Thanks for having a look. Do pop over to the Less Is More blog, it's a very friendly place to visit and you'll see lots of fabulous creations.
Have a lovely Bank Holiday.

Hi Jo, great card!!! I tend to collect crafting Jo's (being one myself) so I thought I'd drop by for a nose around!! Glad I did, and I've signed up as a follower, Jo x
Absolutely perfect Jo, love the background colours. Know what you mean about sitting on your hands though but it's good to do it sometimes. Carol x
Oh it definitely doesn't need anything else - that focal panel took my breath away! Such a dramatic image - love the black and white embossed stamping against the beautiful blue.
Beautiful card and very elegant too.

Love how you have stamped the trees and used a lovely colour combination, great card.
I have loads of hammered card that used to be able to go through my old Canon printer, seems I have just been reminded that I can use it, probably not as good as this though :)
