Wendy picked this week for our DCC (Designer Choice Challenge) at The House
That Stamps Built and she choose CAS-lots of white space and minimal
embellishments. I am not good at white space so this was a challenge for me.
I started with one of my favorite Repeat Impression stamps to color:
Vase of Tulips, and used some fall looking Copic colors. I used a white
die cut (Frame in Frame by Taylored Expressions) and a white embossed layer
(with a circular design) from my ready to go box and
stopped, no gems, no pearls. That was difficult but I do like the result.
Thanks Wendy for the challenge!

ReplyDeleteSerenely lovely greeting. The monochromatic white layers are striking, but in no way overpowering - while also being a great reminder to us all to lean heavily on a single background colour sometimes.
