Less Is More Challenge - Embossing - Week 15

Hey Guys

This card is an entry for the LIM challenge and it was very quick to do but quite effective I think.  I've used masking technique to only stamp part of the stamp then embossed it in black.  Using the sponges I've coloured around the trees but still within the masked area creating the illusion of a square.  I've finished with a little sentiment on the bottom.



To make the card:

Card - Whisper White
Stamps - Lovely As A Tree, Happy Moments
Tools - Heat Gun, Embossing Powder (Black), Post Its, Sponge Daubers
Inks - More Mustard, Not Quite Navy
