LIM 57: Neutrals - Three Neutral Cards

Hello, friends!  Wow, several cards in one week...not sure how much longer this will last!  The craziness of spring is setting in...BUT, I had to play along with this week's challenge at the Less Is More Week 57 Color Challenge featuring NEUTRALS (i.e., anything from off-white to black with any shade of beige, brown or grey in between). 

I also used some of my favorite Hero Arts flower stamps, so I'll enter this first card in their monthly challenge, too. 

For my card, I stamped the background Harlequin Pattern Block (G3316) using Soft Vanilla shadow ink.  Using Latte chalk ink I stamped the sentiment as well as the Wild Flowers, which I also restamped using Soft Wheat shadow ink for a more subtle effect.   

I made two other cards for the challenge, too.  The first is a simple thank you card:

Using the Hero Arts/Sizzix Stripes and Frame stamp and emboss combo set, I first stamped the stripes in latte chalk ink, then embossed, then added the sentiment in black ink. The latte gems were the final touch.



The next card uses a Hero Arts digi image sent to me a while ago by Arlene (thanks again!):

This card uses a rub-on sentiment from my stash, along with the Hero Arts envelope pattern background. The grey strip is actually Martha Stewart adhesive ribbon. (Cool stuff!)

OK, that does it for today...thanks for stopping by!
