LIM Week 67 One layer card

It's been ages since I made a card for the LIM blog challenge.  I have a bit of free time on my hands and decided to have a go.   I really enjoyed making this card for this week's one layer card using just 3 stamps.  I used 3 stamps from the sheet Joanna Sheen Knitting stamps., I have used one of the new spring colour distress inks by Tim Holtz - Peacock feathers...it's a gorgeous colour.
Here's my card for this week...
I stampted the Home sweet home heart directly onto the card first, masked it and the margins each side so that I could stamp the 2 borders in the same colour.  It would look really lovely in different colours too so I might have a go at that later.

Thank you for looking today

    Gorgeous card Sylvie, the simplicity of it makes it so special, and as you say, that ink is a gorgeous colour. x

    Love the stitching theme Sylvie - it's reminiscent of a vintage sampler tapestry. Absolutely beautiful.
