Believe

Morning... So today it's the last of the teasers at Clearly Besotted Stamps as well as a new challenge at Less Is More so I thought I would combine the two.  I have used the new set "Journal It" from CBS to go with the colour theme of... Earth Tones over at LIM.  Here is my creation...


I simply used embossing paste on a section of a dotty stencil (sorry not a clue where from) and then layered some banners over the top.  The sentiment and journal plate is from the new CBS Journal It set. It's simply finished off with some wooden stars from Calico Studios.

I did try and follow the sketch from this weeks Freshly Made Sketches as it's been a while since I've been able to enter.
A day of painting my brothers house is ahead of me... It needs a lot more work or tarting up than we originally thought so we have decided to get it done before moving in so it's all sorted!

Have a great day...

  1. Superb card as always Jen and loving the addition of embossing paste and stitching. Looking forward to the CBS release later! This month you'll be relaxing at 10pm instead of frantically getting an order in before the sets go! Xx

  17. Such an eye-catching card, Jen - simple, stunning, delightful! What an awesome sister you are to help your brother with his move! Painting walls...not in my 'capability' repertoire. I'd have brush and roller lines all over the place! I'm sure he more than appreciates having your support!!
