Yes here in the UK it is the last Bank Holiday until Christmas. This is the one that marks the end of Summer. Somehow I don't think we will be doing much sunbathing this week-end hahaha. Still we will doubtless find things to do.
Here is a card I made today.
The challenge set by Less is More for the next fortnight is #427 Chalkboard Technique. Delightfully easy to do the interesting element this time is keeping it CAS. Most of the stamps I would normally use for this technique are large space fillers and I would bring in additional embellishments in white to fill the space. But this is CAS a smaller but commanding image proved to be this old stamp, one of the very first stamps I ever owned.
The black card is linen effect turned inside out and cut tent card format. The surface was first dusted with an anti static pad. The image stamped with versa embossing inks. Perfect Pearls in white was dusted over the wet ink. In photography some of the white appears to have picked up a pink tone but really it is all white.
Now I do have an urge to use coloured gloss gel, but am keeping this purist and not adding anything.

Beautifully CAS Zoe and a striking card x. I have been catching up with your posts and I have enjoyed them. Had a little chuckle with your messy art post and how it started up as a beach scene x.
