We've got a great new challenge for you this week over at Less is More. As it's the beginning of a new month we're back with our regular Colour challenge and our theme for you this week is...
White Space But Not White
We have another great LIMette as our Guest Designer this week, the lovely Liz of Crafty Sunflower. If you have the time I'm sure she would love a visit from you.
I only have one sample card for you this week. It's been one of those hectic weeks where my evenings have been full of things to do and not enough hours to do them in!
Here's my card, I chose kraft as my 'white' space. My daylight lamp made this one look a little washed out, the colours are a little richer and warmer in real life.
I decided to do a little shadow stamping here, so the floral images were first stamped in white pigment ink then once dry, overstamped with coloured pigment ink. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark and then heat embossed in white. I adhered the panel flat to my card base and added a few smooth gems to the smallest white flowers.
Materials used:
- Cardstock: Neenah - Desert Storm
- Stamps: Wplus9 - Happy Wishes; Clearly Besotted - Sunshine and Smiles
- Ink: Hero Arts - Unicorn; Versa Color - Raspberry, Boysenberry, Green and Evergreen; VersaMark
- Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White

Right, I'm currently in the middle of getting myself ready for my brother's wedding, really looking forward to a wonderful day :)
Happy Saturday whatever you're up to.
This is beautiful - a lovely idea instead of CAS with white. Have a lovely day at your brother's wedding and hope it all goes smoothly.mxx
ReplyDeleteSuper shadow stamping Anita. I actually thought at first glance that it had been embossed and the raised areas coloured - that's a great trick of the eye. I can imagine how rich those colours look in real life. Such a wonderful design too.
