I was excited to see a different style of challenge at Less is More this week.... CASE-ing Jen or Chrissie's card, or both if you choose to!! Well Chrissie has used a technique I have wanted to try for a while so I didn't need to think twice....
It seems that you need a solid image for this technique, something that's easy to replicate on a second piece of card so I had a rummage through my stamps to find I don't have an extensive choice of designs which made deciding on a theme easier!!
This armchair is from a small Lawn Fawn set called Dad's Day stamped in SU More Mustard and over stamped with Hero Arts Envelope background using SU Soft Suede. I thought matching up would be tricky but the criss-cross pattern is quite forgiving.... shading is added using a prisma pencil for some depth :0)
I'm pretty pleased with it... not sure if the lettering should be more raised but I don't think it's too camouflaged at that depth!!
Here's another view...
Here are the two inspiration cards this week... how do they inspire you??
Thanks for stopping by :0)

This is awesome! The reason this is so neat is because you know that every dad has that one chair that they sit in and no one else is allowed to. LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Want to pin it!
ReplyDeleteIt's quite an addictive technique isn't it Jenny!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely great.
My Rhine cruise, or wine cruise as Darnell called it, was fab!
Thanks so much

That's a great case of Chrissie's card Jenny, great technique isn't it? Love the lines under the chair which grounds it and draws your eye to the text.

This is a lovely card Jenny, I wish my creative mind worked like yours. I tend to just copy, rather than have unique ideas like yours.

ReplyDeleteGreat card Jenny. Love your details on the chair, fab technique too :o) Hugs, Lisa x
ReplyDeleteIncredibly cool choice of image for this technique.
ReplyDeleteI love the armchair image for fathers day Jenny. I suddenly realised after popping my letters up on tiny pieces of dimensional that I could have just cut them out twice and stacked them together! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique and excellent take on this technique, Jenny! It's nice to see the Pops get some attention on a card inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Jenny and I really love the look of that technique! Hope you have a great day - hugs xx
ReplyDeleteI'm scared to death of this technique (no stamp-a-ma-jig) and love that you gave it a try and with great results. Cool Father's Day card.
ReplyDeleteOh what a great result!! That "Dad" chair is perfect for this technique! And nice and clean for a Father's Day card.
ReplyDeleteperfect take on the technique Jenny! i love this...you rocked it!
ReplyDeleteOh jenny you never fail to amaze me with your creativity. This is just brilliant. And such a refreshing change to see this technique not used with just flowers :)
