Scroll Frame


Windy and wet out so thought I'd stay in and craft.  Here's a simple card for the Less is More Challenge week 111 where the theme is to use a FRAME.


I've used the Scroll Frames set from Oak House Studio - I've mounted 3 (of the 4) stamps on my block to create a heart shape and stamped this with Vermillion Archival.  The centre is sponged with Barn Door Distress Ink and I've stamped the Tim Holtz sentiment from the Stuff to Say set in Jet Black Archival.  I've finished the piece by mounting on a 6" square black card.

I'm also entering this card in the Craft Stamper Take it Make it blog challenge as the centre is sponged using the Faux Airbrushing technique and the new challenge over at Country View Crafts where Anything Goes.

Many thanks for looking and any comments you leave ....... now back to the rugby!

    I like your take on the airbrushing - fading out rather than a distinct edge - and done with a very soft touch.
