Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Less is More. For the next two weeks we will be asking you to make a card following our prompt B is for Beach and that’s exactly where I hope to be when this post is published!
A super simple card testing my abilities with ink blending and embossing. I saw a tutorial over at Inkylicious and ended up buying the stamps that were featured unfortunately they didn’t arrive in time so I had to use my imagination to make the waves. I used the edge of an old stamp with Versamark ink and Sea Foam embossing powder (how apt) by Papermania.
I used Distress Oxides for the sea and sand a Spellbinders oval frame and an Idea-ology sentiment and that’s it! Saying that this was one of many attempts to get the waves the way I wanted them and the colours just right. Once my stamps arrive I will treat you all to how it should have been done.
A couple of photo’s of the view from my summer house here in the Halkidiki region of Thessaloniki where I will hopefully be when this post goes live.
Do pop over to LIM to see the amazing creations by my teammates but remember to keep it Cas.
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend
Take care

No matter how many times you ‘practiced’ your finished card is perfection, Marie! I think you’re quite brilliant using the edge of a stamp to apply that versamark ink – with stunning results!
What a beautiful view you have there, my friend! Wow!

Thank you so much Michele it was a pure fluke with the stamp hope I have better luck when I have the appropriate tools
BEAUTIFUL beach (wouldn’t mind being there right about now lol). You are so talented and clever! LOVE your overall design … draws you right in!!

Breathtaking Marie, both the card and the view! Love the abstract style and relaxed ‘beach’ colours!
Thank you Vicki. Yes I am blessed especially on hot days here in Greece. You are always welcome to pop over
They were the only colours I had that remotely looked like sand and season
Really beautiful! Love the effect on the waves
Sheer fluke Deborah!

Great job pivoting when your order didn’t arrive in time. Your card is simple and clever. Your ink blending… flawless!
Beautiful photos of the views from your summer house,,, lucky you!
What a beautiful card. Very simple but it really makes me think of a beautiful beach on a warm summers day. You’re so clever, the sand and sea look super realistic. You’re experiments always seem to work perfectly.
