Goodness knows what happened to last week, I was so busy with 'kids' stuff that the week flew by in a flash, however I was a good girl this morning and did some H********K so I though I deserved a little 'me' time to join in with the Less is More challenge.
It's a 'CASE' week and Chrissie and Jen have provided us with a choice of two cards to case. I've gone with Chrissie's card cause I've been dying to have a go at this stamped/raised sentiment technique.
My card also fits with the Addicted to CAS challenge which is "Flower".
Here's my card ...
I have to say I think it would be easier to do if I'd had individual letter dies. I ended up placing my letters onto the acetate sheet from my stamp-a-ma-jig, then stamping the (Hero Arts) image on top, then using the acetate sheet to align the stamp onto the card base. (confusing I know!).I then embossed a circle around the stamp for more interest and added some bling. (Ink is SU Rich Razzleberry).
I think also it might look better with a more solid stamp as my sentiment seems a bit too camouflaged by the 'open' design of the stamp.
Okay, that's me for now, hopefully I'll manage a bit more crafty time this week.
Thanks for popping in,
Take care

Gorgeous card Suze - I've been playing with this technique as well but think all my alpha dies are too small - hmmmm! Just love how you've embossed the circle round the flowers. Thanks so much for joining the fun at A2CAS.

Wow Suze - this is a great take on Chrissie's card and a really special card for a mum. Vicky x
PS I found that by cutting out all the letters and attaching them to my stamping surface with temp glue, I only had to stamp once on the background and once on the letters. Hope this helps/makes sense!
A fantastic card - very pretty.
Suze
This is amazingly clever!
WOW - the impact is fabulous.

A great take on Chrissie's card Suze - lining up the flowers on the letters with the flowers in the background must have been a challenge in itself! Absolutely fabulous!
