Less is More challenge

I had a chance to make a card for the new Less is More challenge blog over the weekend.  The colours of the challenge were black, white and pink.  Unfortunately this scan makes the pinks look a lot bolder than they are.  The sponged pinks look much softer and the darkest colour, Rose Red does not look so red on the card.  I am pretty fussy about colour matching so the pinks and reds clashing here are not pleasing me.  Edited to add the photo below taken on a friend’s camera.  You can see the colours are a little softer.

I used post it notes to mask and kept moving the bottom one up a little between spongings, changing from Pretty in Pink to Rose Red half way through.  I stamped the Queen  Anne’s Lace and the sentiment in black and extended the stems with a fine tip marker.

Make sure you check out the new blog, the challenge already has close to 100 participants, so it is off to a great start.

Supplies:

Stamps: Garden Silhouettes,  Graceful words
Inks: Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Basic Black
Cardstock: Flourishes Classic White
