Less Is More Challenge

I must have tried this card out about a half a dozen times, before I ended up with this.  I am entering this in the Simply Less is More Challenge from this sketch.   Smudges and crooked stamping are the culprits. I swear, I can smear ink on a digi. Anyway, here is the sketch.  The creators of this blog, Chrissie and Mandy make the most amazing cards, that it's easy to get inspired.



For this challenge I used an image from Rubber Soul and a sentiment from Inkadinkado. I used a Spellbinder's die to emboss around the image.  Then I simply ran my Copics across the image and I used a little Stickles on the tips of the branches. 
Now, I have a date with my pillow. See ya!

This is simply terrific Gail, I love the image panel... the inking is fabulous. I haven't actually used a Nestie to emboss using the flat side either... I must try it that way round.
Thanks so much for joining us and see you next time.
