Less Is More Blue & Brown


Hi friends!
I was so happy to be showcased at Less Is More today that I decided to stamp a quick, fun one layer card for their current color challenge: blue and brown. This combination somehow said "retro" to me so I took out these PTI stamps that have sort of 70's look to them. I used a textured card base, masked off a diagonal space and stamped away with the help of my MISTI. I added white gel pen to some of the flowers and also used blue buttons that I got from my good friend Marina. I think the buttons go very cute together with the flowers! Hope you like and thanks for popping by. :)

This certainly has a wonderful retro feel to it - fabulous! I love how you've used buttons as an accent. Great entry to our challenge, and congrats on your showcase!

Congrats on being showcased over at LIM, that certainly was a spectacular CAS design. This one has a great 70s look, I love that style, I recognized those buttons as Marina's but thought at first you'd cut a DP. Very cool stamp look and great masking job!

Super seventies feel to this card Nonnie. Those colours really do suit the retro look and the wonderful flower stamps that you picked. Thank you so much for joining us at Less is More this week.

Nonnie, I love how you did this card. I must admit I was stumped when it came to blue and brown as I tend to copic everything in sight and couldn't see past it. And here is a wonderful card using just blue and brown with flowers and buttons, love it.

Great design for a one layer card Nonni - I always find one layer cards so difficult!
