Less Is More #293, Altenew Blog Hop and Virginia's View #23

Less is More is asking for our favorite flower on a one-layer card.  My favorite is the daisy and what better stamp to use than Altenew's Spring Daisy.
I masked and stamped the flowers with Altenew Evening Gray and colored them with Inktense pencils.  I got a little carried away with the splattering. Why did it do a little on my sample but went all over the place on the actual card?  One of the mysteries of life I guess.  At least it gets me into Virginia's View Challenge to use spray, mist or splatter.  I'm also entering it into the Altenew Blog Hop.

I'm so glad you dropped by.  Please leave a comment to let me know you were here.

Bobby, your card is beautiful with the lovely daisies, the highlight colouring and the pretty splatters. I don't think those are overdone in the least; rather, they add wonderful texture and dimension...Love this!

Beautiful daisies, Bobby - I have stamp envy! Your masking and colouring is perfect. The splatter looks great - I always struggle with how difficult it is to control to get just the 'right' effect! Thank you for playing along with us at Less is More this week :)

Such a beautiful and tasteful sympathy card. The daisies have been on my wishlist for a while and you're enabling me! The splatter looks great and adds so much depth. Great card! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More :)

I hate when that happens - the test run does exactly what you want it to and the real thing goes a whole different direction. Ah well, this is still a beauty. Those daisies are fabulous!

Well done on this one layer, Bobby! I love the ink splatter although you think you got carried away....LOL. It looks AWESOME! One thing I do though is to cover part of the main focus up to avoid unintended splattering...hope this helps. So glad that you join the fun over Virginia’s View “Spray, Mist & Splatter” Challenge! WONDERFUL!

Your flowers are so very pretty, and I like the splattering. I am never brave like you, but I admire your splatters.

This is a beautiful sympathy card Bobby, love the daisies!

The daisies are beautifully arranged and I love your partial coloring, super for a sympathy card. I agree, the splatters are true mystery for me, too :)
Have a great weekend, Bobby!

Beautiful! I don't even do test runs anymore, it's guaranteed that the "real" version will never live up to the tester, haha! Usually with splatters I end up with massive splodges that ruin the entire card. Your's are awesome. :-)
