BLACK AND PURPLE.....

Hello everyone: Learning to create CAS cards has been a work in progress for me, it has taken me a bit of time and effort to get used to leaving all that required "white space" on my cards, this style usually is one layer, little or no embellishments and one or maybe two images including the sentiment. Now, the "Less is More" challenge gals are asking us to leave "white space that is NOT white", simple, right?  Well.....I struggled a little about this challenge request until I came across this stamp set by Altenew called "Persian Motifs" and decided to use it to make this card.

I stamped it onto a black card base with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white powder, then I colored it with my Prismacolor pencils in some of my favorite shades of purple and green for the leaves. There it is, no fuss, nothing else added except the sentiment, also heat embossed in white.

I thought of adding maybe a few Rhine Stones or sequences, I even thought of stamping some dots with the Gorgeous Grunge SU stamp set but, the more I thought about adding stuff, the more I was convinced that adding anything would totally mess it up so I left it alone.

It was a bit tricky to take this picture, I wanted you to be able to see the different shades I used on the petals, I hope you can see that. 

This is a picture of the finished inside of my card.

Again, just a simple sentiment and a few of the leaves from this pretty stamp set. 

Thank you for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
