Shadows and quotes!

Afternoon all from a gorgeous sunny London! I've had a crafty morning finishing off some birthday cards and getting to grips with the LIM challenge and my tag for the Q&L challenge over at the Craft Barn.
The LIM girls want the following:

We have another 

ONE LAYER CARD

challenge for you this week!

The proviso for your cards this week is to have evidence of

Shadow Stamping.

There are several ways of doing this, using emboss resist, re-stamping without re-inking or simply stamping the same image in a lighter shade.

Let's see what you can come up with!

Come and see what I did, I tried taking my photo is various lighting including the garden so I hope you can see the shadow stamping!

I stamped a Crafty Individuals and a Clarity corner stamp twice in Shabby Shutters and Bundled Sage DI. The sentiment is a Justrite one and I used a Just rite die to emboss around it.

Thanks to a heads up from the very talented Lynne Moncrieff I am also entering this card into this month's CI challenge which is called Nature's Beauty

The words this week over at the Q&L challenge are TRUTH and CHANGE. I've been trying to stick to lyrics but I didn't seem to have the stamps to suit any lyrics that I wanted to use so I went with Oscar Wilde.

I got a bit inky for the background and added some shadows for horizon. The grasses are a Sheena Douglass stamp and the mask is printed from the internet and popped up with pinflair.

Hope you're having a sunny day too and looking forward to the Easter weekend. I will be back soon to show you some more Easter cards that I made.
