Less is More #10 - second card

Back so soon I hear you say ....

I'm having a crafty day today and the ideas are flowing . As promised here is my second , more colourful One Layer card for Less is More this week ..... again very much sentiment based .
The sentiments are a set called 'kids quotes - friendly advice' from Inkadinkadoo and the paint pot and brush are from a set of Woodware stamps called DIY .
I've used acrylic paint brushed directly onto the card and then used Stazon to stamp on top of it , then I used the masking technique to stamp the tin behind the paint brush and coloured with promarkers adding acrylic to tin and brush too . The black line gives it the feel of a poster I think so I added dots in the three corners .
At this point I squealed with delight as it looked how I intended it too . It's one of those days when things go right :)

Hope you like it too X
