less is more and OLW 64




This week at the less is more challenge they are trying to go for 1000 entries! but luckily the theme is anything goes, so any clean and simple entries are eligible to enter..

meanwhile at One Layer Wednesdays the theme is colour it. I have been fiddling around with a bit of a new colouring technique this week, instead of putting a nice smooth surface under my card and colouring in a detail manner with light strokes, I have put a textured surface (denim) underneath and coloured with firm, bold strokes and not worrying about outlines. I love the result and it will make batch cards a breeze. This card uses Jo Capper-Sandon's new starbird with chick stamp from Stampotique, which I have coloured to look like a robin, with a simple christmas greeting which I found in my freebie box.
