Frame it

on
Having a day out at the Owl and Otter Sanctuary in the New Forest today with a friend.  Jean & I met years a go at Marwell and together have visited many Zoos and wildlife parks all over the country, The Owl and Otter is local and one of our favourites.   just keep your fingers crossed we get some nice weather between the showers.

Back at Less is More this week it is time for another one layer card.   Personally one layer makes the most sense to me for a CAS card its just that with Chrissie and Mandy there is always a twist in the tail.   This week we are to use a frame.   Lucky for me this La Blanche stamp comes with a frame in place.   Applied ink with a brayer using Spice Big and Juicy  good colours for a vintage style image.   Used the same ink on the SU sentiment.   Hope this is clean enough for the challenge girls.

    Stunning card, Zoe! Those La Blanche stamps are beautiful aren't they? Bought two from stampalot when I was last there.

    What a wonderful stamp Zoe
    I don;t even think it needed the sentiment, it;s fab on it's own...only my opinion, nothing wrong with it!
    I do love owls, they are beautiful birds
    Thank you very much

    Beautiful card. LaBlanche always has beautiful stamps, and what can be better than when the frame is built in. I have also used one of hers with frame, but won't be posting till tomorrow! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie

    What a fabulous image.. I do tend to agree with Mandi about the sentiment, but for me it's because the style of the image and the style of this sentiment stamp don't seem quite in synch with each other. To my mind, this beautiful image calls for a copperplate type script font. (Purely personal opinion Zoe) It looks great as is, but you know we can't keep our noses out!
    Thanks so much
