Thinking of You

Hi guys

Well, this morning we seem to have a gap in the stormy weather down here in Devon and at the moment the sun is shiny! A very welcome sight :)

Today, I've had a go at recreating a one-layer card very similar to a fab card made a while ago by Rebecca at Melly moo, you can see Rebecca's post here.  For my card I used chalks to create the shadow.  It doesn't jump off the page as well as Rebecca's card.  I really need to invest in some ink/sponging products!  That said, I do like it and I think the subtle feel is fitting for the sentiment.  See what you think...




I was lucky enough to get my order in for the Dandelion Dreams stamp set at Clearly Besotted before it sold out...and I adore it.  The note pad stamp was released a while ago but I only just purchased it with this month's order so wanted to give that a whirl too.

I started by stamping the 'decorative tape' and then masked this off before stamping the note pad.  Then, lots of post-it notes were used as masks to create an edge to the pad and a gap to chalk the shadow.  I then masked off the shadow before stamping the dandelions.

I'm fairly happy with the result but I don't think I managed to accomplish exactly what I set out to do.  Oh well, its all good practice!

Materials used:
  • Stamps: Kaisercraft - Decorative Tape Pieces; Clearly Besotted Stamps -Just A Note, Dandelion Dreams, Many Messages
  • Ink: Memento - London Fog; Versa Color - Seafoam and Petal Pink; Versafine - Onyx Black
  • Chalk: Craf-T Products - Decorating Chalks

Challenge Entries:
Less is More - Week 158 - One Layer Anything Goes
Addicted to Stamps and More - Challenge #81 - Anything Goes
Totally Gorjuss - Challenge 222 - Sentiment as Main Focus
Dynamic Duos - #89 Subtly Yours - Light Green and Soft Pink











Apart from the sentiment set, all of these stamp sets are new to my collection and I love them.  No doubt you'll be seeing a lot more of these in the future.  

There are a few chores I need to do today but you never know, I'll more than likely get distracted and have another card to share later ;)

See you soon

    I think you did get the effect you wanted! I like the subtle shadow and those dandelions are lovely. The soft, subtle colours work perfectly. Thanks so much for playing along with ASM this week!

    Love it Anita and glad to see you (like me) you got in in time to buy the Dandelion Dreams stamps. They went so quickly didn't they? Great card and love how you've used all the stamps. x

    I love how you have created this card using only stamping! This is true CAS as it is an one layer card - good work! And I too am a huge fan of Clearly Besotted.
