LIM #191

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, and sometimes all you need is words.  That's the premise for the challenge at Less Is More this week - Mostly Words.  You're challenged to make the sentiment the focal point of your card.


I decided this chalkboard sentiment from My Craft Spot would be a great way to go.  I embossed it with white and then colored the larger words with Distress Markers.  I know that you can mask and ink and use your stamp-a-ma-jig and fiddle diddle around.  I tried.  I honestly did. And that panel is in the recycle bin.  Just not my thing so I'm glad the coloring worked.  The dp is from WeRMemoryKeepers.

Thanks for stopping by.  I love reading your comments so I hope you leave one.

I'm with you on the masking/inking thing. Colouring the embossed images is os much easier and works just as well! Love the soft watercolor in the background.
