A friend like you

It's one layer week at Less is More & I often find this challenge a challenge!  The challenge is to make the sentiment the main focus of the card. I haven't inked up these honeycomb stamps from Clearly Besotted for a while & thought these would make a nice background. I was tempted to go for pink,green & then yellow or purple as the third colour, but decided to use this lovely bright, but pastel blue instead. I quite like the card I have come up with this time ...

Thanks for popping by & take care.

Friends Forever

Evening! I ordered a few stamp sets from this month's new release from Clearly Besotted & had a play with the 'Friends Forever' set on Saturday when they arrived. The set has 2 gorgeous flowers, including a tulip - my favourite flower - & some lovely 'friend' sentiments. Here's 2 cards I made ...

And close up ...

I've also recently purchased some of the mini Tim Holtz distress ink pads & I used these to watercolour the flowers.

Challenges:
CAS-ual Friday challenge - to use a watercolour technique & keep it clean & simple.
Just Us Girls - the theme is 'Love'

I hope you like them :) Thanks for looking x
