Inclinations

I have another holey card for Less is More today...I made the stamped panel over half-term, intending to use it on my Mother's Day card...but it looked too much like it should be on a sympathy card by the time I'd finished...so I scrapped that idea! The stamp is 'Inclinations' by Penny Black - I stamped and embossed it before blending various shades of blue Distress Inks over the top (Chipped Saphire, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, Tumbled Glass & Salty Ocean). I pierced the holes at the corners using my Dovecraft ruler with it's handy guide holes, and added a sentiment from the 'Mini Messages' set by Hero Arts.

    A lovely card and your stamping is great. I would look lovely with a pink background for Mother's Day.
