Less is More, Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge

Today I am attempting to rejuvenate my creative mojo as I haven't made a card for absolutely yonks and this was confirmed by my Goddaughter who has commented that this is the first year  (in 13) I haven't hand made her birthday card.  Better pull my socks up!!

I am entering this card for the WMSC50 Sketch and Less is More.  Below is the graphic for the WMSC challenge and Less is More has asked for monochromatic.



Here is my first effort with the just about rejuvenated mojo! It's meant to be a birthday card for a girlfriend, but I think it's a bloke like so may have to make another!!


I have stamped the tea cups from the WMS Afternoon Tea stamp set onto two shades of blue from my stash - they are embossed in black although I don't think my photo shows the embossing very well.  The blue squares were cut with nestabilities squares small die.


The sentiment from WMS Afternoon Tea Sentiments stamps set has been stamped and embossed directly onto a cream card blank again from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by - I'm off to see what else I can create :-)
