Less is More & Playdate Cafe

This week at Less is More they have a doozie of a challenge.

ONE LAYER CARD
This time we have the stipulation to
USE THREE STAMPS
not four, not two... but 3!

The reason I found it a bit tricky is because nI kept having hiccups along the way, just when I'd nearly finished the card, I did something to ruin it. I have however had fun doing lots of stamping and ended of making several different cards. This is the 1st one, which also incorporates the colours of the Playdate Cafe challenge PDCC131






























I have used a Penny Black christmas stamp (the bird), but only used part of the image, the leaf stamp is from Kaisercraft and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.
I coloured the images with a mixture of tombow markers, Twinkling H2Os and oil crayons to try to get the colours right.
I went for a watercolour effect and the twinking H2Os add a nice shimmer. I thought about adding a ribbon, but decided to keep the card CAS.

I will also enter this in the CAS-ual Fridays and Penny Black Saturday challenge
- the theme this week is birds.
