I've finally got my head around this weeks challenge at Less is More.... a one layer card that must include doodling by your own fair hands... I think the gasp was heard all around the country on Saturday morning!!!
I don't seem to have any stamps that I could doodle alongside.... well not that I could enhance with doodling then! So I had a nose about on Pinterest and soon came by the idea of using solid shapes as my base and the only solid rubber stamps I have are a set of Hero Arts dots......
I took my colour inspiration from this weeks palette at ColourQ because I thought it would suit the trees perfectly :0)
I started by randomly stamping the different dots on the card base in Adirondack Red Pepper and Butterscotch and Basic Grey ink, then doodled the patterns,trunks and grass to make a simple scene.
The sentiment is by Hero Arts too.... good planning actually as I need a thank you card :0)
I promised to show you the before and after shot of Rolo after his visit to the the groomers on Tuesday ... well here you go, they're not the best because they are taken on my phone in fact I've given them a vintage feel to mask that fact :0)
Hope you agree he looks rather smart sporting his new haircut and what's more, the amount of hair he sheds has drastically reduced and hopefully so will the need to vacuum the house!!!
Thanks for stopping by today :0)

As innovative as ever Jenny!
ReplyDeleteAnother super card... well it wasn't as bad as having to do acetate was it?
Your pooch looks smart indeed... if a little affronted!
Thanks as ever.
