Less is More, Simon Says Stamp, Craft You Days Away

Hi all, I'm back again!! I was so inspired this afternoon by the Less is More challenge of monochrome, I made another!

I have made a Father's Day card for my lovely hubby, who is a wonderful dad and a fabulous hubby - he puts up with all my crafting stuff every where and never moans, and I'm guessing quite a few of you ladies have one of these at home too :-)

So anyway, here's my 2nd entry:



Kraft card base, and panel, and typewriter image stamped twice in Tuxedo Black and decoupaged, and is by October Afternoon, as is the sentiment. I distressed the edges slightly with Walnut Stain, a colour that frankly terrifies me as I'm never too sure how dark it's going to look!

Then stitched the top panel to a second panel before mounting onto the card base.


This is the second time I have used my sewing machine, and the first panel I stitched had to be binned. Ah well, I put it all down to practice! I am really pleased with this very masculine, almost butch card, even with the sewing!

I am also entering into:
