Less is More Time!

My card to share today is for this week's Less Is More Challenge - One Layer Card - Something With Legs.
I printed the double frame and sentiment in Craft Artists, in medium grey,   and then stamped the image inside the frame with Versamark and heat embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver ep.  I couldn't get a very good picture as it is so dull today, I did all the things I normally do to get the best possible light and used Picassa to try to improve things, but even that didn't want to play today.  So the final pic looks more like a black and white card and not grey and silver. The stamp is one I bought last year from Imagination Crafts to use for last Christmas, but never took it of it's packaging!!!  I used an A5 card because the frame took up too much space on a square one.  I am not overly happy with the result and will probably make another at some point this week.

Thank you for visiting today.

    This looks fantastic as a black and white image but I bet it looks even better in real life when you can see the grey and silver. Can't believe you pipped me to the post with a deer!

    The dull weather plays havoc with photos doesn`t it. Your card looks fab as a black and white image so I imagine it`s even better in grey and silver. Love it.

    Beryl, this is just lovely. The "black and white" version is great, I'm sure the "real life" version is even prettier. :-) I think you should put this stamp into production for this Christmas, it's wonderful.
