Less is more: week 169

I saw this sketch over at Less is More and in my head I came up with lots of ideas. At the same time I got a mail from Penny Black with a tutorial on how to make a card with a certain technique, and it looked so fun that I wanted to try it out, so I combined the both.

I used a leaf stamp from the stamp set called Petal Pieces from SSS and I used four distress inks (mowed lawn, aged mahogany, peeled paint and antique linen). The branch and the bird is two different dies, the leaf from Heroo Arts and the bird from Marianne Design.


Then I made another similiar card to my husband's grandmother who is 93 and lives in England. The picture got a bit crocked ( my fault).
