Hooray for Today

A friend of mine told me about the Less is More Challenge #441: One layer card using diamonds, that is going on until April 30. This was quite the task for me to come up with an idea. Then I remembered a die that was a freebie in an order from Ellen Hutson called Diamond, by Julie Ebersole, so I ran it through my Big Shot machine to make a stencil out of it. 



I used some blender brushes and Ranger Distress Oxide ink to make a background, then stenciled the diamonds with various distress oxide and Stampin' Up! Classic ink pads to make my design in the corner of the card. I pulled out an older SU! stamp set called Geometrical because this sentiment looked like a good match for the diamond shapes on my card.

That's it! Clean and simple. One layer. Boom. Hop over to the Less is More site to check out what everyone is coming up with for this challenge!

See you soon,

-Carol

    Fabulous card, mine also used a stencil from a die, makes sense to utilize what you have on hand.

    Love the tone of blue you used and you nailed the CAS design. It's time to get out all my dies and make some stencils as you have here. Nice card!

      Thanks friend! The stencils that I have don't always match the challenges, so I have to look for alternative ideas.
