Less is More - Colour Challenge

Hi today I have my card design for the Less is More blog challenge, this week it is a colour challenge using Red, White and Blue





Made using Clarity Stamps and stencils, I wanted a softer stencilled heart in the background and the stamped heart as the foreground focal image. I gave the stamped heart a surrounding of shadow to lift it, and coloured using Spectrum Noir pencils. I thought that red and blue work well with a heart, red for the passion and firey heart and blue for heartfelt sadness, emotions that can be so closely linked, two sides of the coin.

Thank you for visiting and reading about my design.
