The challenge at Less is more this week is geometric shapes on the dreaded one layer card. Dum dum dum! Sorry, that was my attempt at dramatic music. My mojo is still missing, possibly eaten by a rabbit and so I was stumped. I finally remembered about the stamp set that came free with Creativity magazine a couple of months ago. I used an A6 card blank and stamped the hexagons at an angle, typically it was slightly too short and so I had to extend it slightly. Now I'm thinking why didn't I just trim a centimetre off the edge of the card! I heat embossed it with Wow metallic gold. I used a sentiment from TPC studio "Graduation" and heat embossed it in black. It is supposed to have a slightly grungy imperfect look to it honest. Apologies for the rubbish photos, the light is fading fast and I can't be doing with tidying up to take photos.
Hopefully my mojo will return soon. Hope you all have a great evening.

Gorgeous card. What a great stamp - it looks super embossed with gold. xx
ReplyDeleteUsing the stamps at an angle was inspired. Will file this in my brain for future use. A great CAS card. Lilian
ReplyDeleteMmmm, as a CAS-lover, this looks like mojo in the house to me, Cara! I love your design and love that it could be used for either gender! (I think you did an excellent job on the edge bit; I couldn't tell it wasn't all one impression!) Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWhat a super CAS design and I certainly can't see the join in your border!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for taking part

Fabulous Cara! Love the touch of gold, very elegant with the black and white! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteI think I might have a go at this one over the weekend, although my last attempt would qualify, best think of something else though.
ReplyDeleteLove your pattern, it is very striking embossed in gold.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your mojo is misbehaving ... it just makes creating things so much more difficult (mine vanishes on a regular basis!)
