Close Your Eyes... Make a Wish

Happy Monday everyone, hope you had a lovely weekend.  Our horrid wet weather didn't last too long into the day yesterday and we did get a little sunshine, however today dawned cloudy, windy and a tad chilly.  If you are one of the lucky ones to still be basking in lovely warm temperatures, make the most of it as I think cooler weather is on the way for most of us !

Today's offering is a simple CAS card and my entry for this week's Less is More challenge. It seems that 'any shape but square or rectangular' is quite popular for challenges this week.

I haven't created a Clean And Simple card for quite a few weeks, and thought about this challenge for a while, before deciding to use a new set of stamps I purchased recently from Inkyliscous - it's their 'Dandelion Wishes' set and quite delightful.  I also recently acquired the new limited edition set of Distress Inks and used 'Shaded Lilac' to create my background and also to stamp the images (I love this shade and will most likely be using it a great deal in the future!). 

The base card was created using the largest die in a set of octagonal nesties.  I then applied the DI using an Inkyliscous brush (I've only recently tried these and I just LOVE them).  Using the same colour DI I stamped two of the dandelion stamps and the little flying seeds image. I used Memento Paris Dusk to ink up the sentiment as I wanted a slightly darker shade of ink to give the words some impact.  Finally I added a few tiny touches of Sardust Stickles on the seeds to give the whole design a 'magical' feel.

Hope you've enjoyed today's project, hope to see you back again real soon.  Sadly, I lost one of my Followers this week - not sure why but I do hope whoever you are will drop by occasionally to see what I continue to get up to in my crafty space.  Thanks for Following me for a while anyway.
