Less Is More: Silhouettes

Although I had envisioned a very different card when I first bought this set, I love that today's Less Is More challenge "forced" me to try it in a CAS style.  Clean and simple cards keep everything in stark relief - black/white, humble/royal, death/life ...


  • Stamps: Sweet 'n Sassy Season of Love
  • Paper: black, white, Best Creations Gold Glitter cardstock
  • Ink: Staz-On Black
  • Accessories: Martha Stewart border punch, Memory Box star die
P.S. This is my second post for today.
P.S.S. If you are a Copic "user", be sure to check out yesterday's post as I have some special gifts for you!

    Gorgeous, Kim! Love how the image is sitting on that ribbon and the touch of bling down the side balances the star and bow so perfectly. :)
