Less is More and Colour Swatch

I saw this lovely colour Swatch on Colour Throwdown


In my opinion they definitely suited today - Valentine's day!

I made a One Layer card using these colours:


I masked the rectangular strip and then applied distress inks - 'spun sugar', 'worn lipstick' and 'festive berries' - making a gradation of colour intensity.
I then overstamped, first and second generation, using the Hobbycraft 'one pound' stamp.
Having removed the mask I added one final heart in the dark grey.

I think it makes a lovely CAS card - hope you do too!

I am linking this to

Happy Crafting!

    Love how you masked that ombre strip, and the hearts over that is gorgeous! Great card!

    Gorgeous one layer design! I like the ombre strip of color along the left edge--it makes a great backdrop for the heart image. Thanks for joining us for this week's Color Throwdown!
