I'm back with a second card for this weeks 'Framed' challenge at Less is More.
I was inspired by the broad white frames on some of the gorgeous cards in the gallery and had to satisfy my crafty need to make one myself...
I decided on a letterbox shape for a landscape scene.
The poppies are from a stamp set called Silhouette Flowers by Artemio and these are my favourite flowers in the set... I love poppies... that little black centre stamp just brings them to life :0)
I used Distress inks for the background and the poppies, I went in afterwards with a water-brush and slightly darker DI to add a bit of shadow but didn't want to take away from the silhouette style too much.
A little outside my comfort zone but I'm pretty pleased with the result :0)
On a completely different note... Louise has added a selection of the long awaited Paper Smooches dies and newest stamp sets to the store at Make the Day Special, a few match current stamp sets and some are standalone.... they're well worth checking out, click here to have a browse :0)
Thanks for stopping by
