The front door thank you with Best of Flowers

I peeked at the Less is More challenge on Saturday but all the sunshine we're having is making me feel colourful and my front door is black in a white frame, so I didn't feel ragingly inspired. While my new Best of Flowers stamp set was out though, an idea did occur to me - come and see:

What a nightmare it was photographing this little number! But it does look rather elegant in real life, honestly! To make it, I cut a panel of Basic Black card stock and stamped the daisy image from Best of Flowers down the side using versamark. This was then heat embossed using clear embossing powder.

While stamping the daisies, I left an indent for a sentiment and chose this one from Oh Hello, which I thought worked well with the bold design. It was stamped in versamark again but this time I used white embossing powder to heat emboss it.

Here's what you'll need for this card

This is my front door, complete with triffids, which are actually currently under some kind of control! The front garden is a real sun trap in the afternoons and I occasionally take a book and a cup of tea out there at weekends - hence the chair. The cat thinks it's been put there for her use only of course, so it is also the scene of some unseemly power struggles!

See you tomorrow for more crafting fun,
