Hello again! I have finally been able to upload this card!! Last night I must have spent an hour trying to do it and nearly threw the laptop at the wall but today it appears to be loading just fine!This is my entry to the Less is More sketch challenge. This stamp of a bee is just adorable and thought that embossing them in gold would make them *pop*. Hopefully I succeeded. The stamp comes from the set, Nature Walk, which is just fabulous.
The card was quite challenging to make plain as I had a huge urge to add glitter or brads or ribbon but I fought that urge!! The sentiment comes from the new Level 2 hostess set that you can find in the Mini catalogue. Mmmm love it. I stamped it in Sahara Sand, and I have to say that having sentiments in clear makes using them a breeze!
Hope you like!
I do really like it Cate
ReplyDeleteLOVE the simplicity, so elegant
the bees don;t look as if they are quite straight, but, maybe the picture, or maybe you wanted them like that! No offence.
Chrissie did a tut on our first week of a stamp positioner.
Love the gold, agree they really pop
Thank you so much

Such a pretty and simple card Cate. Those bee's look fab with the gold embossing. It's hard to resist that urge to embelish, but this card doesn't need anything else :o)

ReplyDeleteNot sure whether my comments are getting through at the moment, I seem to be having some problems with the blogger password. I love Nature Walk too and have just posted this morning a card here: http://tiarahelen.blogspot.com/2011/07/i-love-natural-look.html
