Earth Tones

Earth Tones is the theme for this week's Less is More challenge. Resisting the temptation to produce yet another Autumnal leaves card as I'm pretty sure I did one of those last year for a Less is More challenge, I decided to use earth tones for the background on my card.

I used a Memory Box designer stencil with TH Distress Inks applied with some cut and dry foam on Crafty Individuals coated cardstock. Lovely result, the colours blend so well on that card.

The focal images are die cut from Crafters Companion Centura Pearl card, the poodle is mounted on 3D foam. These are lovely quality dies from Frantic Stamper purchased from Oyster Stamps with my winnings from the Artful Times Challenge last month.


Summary of Materials Used:
Precision Cutting Die by Frantic Stamper Inc. - FRA-DIE-09093 Toutou the French Poodle
Precision Cutting Die by Frantic Stamper Inc. - FRA-DIE-09091 Loretta
Memory Box designer stencil - Texture Mesh 
Centura Pearl black cardstock
Coated cardstock from Crafty Individuals
Tim Holtz Distress Inks : Vintage Photo, Ripe Persimmon and Wild Honey

    Love the blended colours in that stencilled background, and the silhouette looks fabulous against them!
