Diamond in the ruff


 It probably would make more sense with the dogs from the Hero Arts set Diamond in the ruff ruff ruff..hehe I might still add it after I entered the cards.

But I remembered this sentiment from earlier this week when I made the card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: CAS showcasing Hero arts.

And of course the new Less is More Challenge: One layer and diamonds.

For my second version I stamped the sentiment first with Versafine ink. As on the first version I smugded it bit a second pass of Versafine ink.

Masked off the sentiment and a strip from the


top.

I marked the centre and with my home made diamond shaped stencil. I inkblended the middle one first with Distress ink Seedless Preserves, then the lightest ones at either end with Pink Flamingo and then the Picked raspberry ones. I then decided it needed more Seedless preserves so I continuegs the pattern outside the card boundaries. Now on this version it is more faint, but there's some Spun Sugar ink on the outside towards the diamonds to make a banner.

  2. Splendid design Maaike. Well done on making your own stencil. My first effort was with a homemade stencil but mine ended up in the bin.
    I love the colours you've used too. Thanks for sharing with us at Less is More,
