Less Is More - Week 207, NBUS #3 and Uniko Studios

The current theme over at Less Is More is 'Friends'. Loads of options there and such fun thinking what to make/use. Shame on me, I eventually found a LOTV stamp set languishing in a folder - having never been used,  despite me having it for absolutely ages:
I used:

 - 5" x 5" square white card blank

 - image and sentiment are from the LOTV 'Watering Can' set, stamped in Memento 'Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with Pro Markers (ages since I played with these)

- the image was then die cut using a Spellbinders Labels One die, which I then ran an embossing tool round rather than dig out the embossing mat

 - then drew round the same die onto SU 'Smoky Slate' card stock and trimmed it to make a mat to fit behind the image

 - used Collall All Purpose Glue for the layering and to glue the assembled topper to the card - it's just got that edge for a bit of manoeuvrability :)

As it's the first time I used the stamp set, this card is also a third entry into Darnell's NBUS #3 (Never Been Used Schtuff) challenge - it's been very busy over there and you have a little bit of time still to play. The challenge closes at noon Pacific Time on Thursday 22nd January - plus there are $25 gift cards to be won from the ever-generous Darnell.
 
And, as suggested by Sarah, I'm also linking this into the latest Uniko Challenge which is 'Love and Friendship'.

    Cute as cute can be. I tried using a pot of Collall the other day and was pleasantly surprised at just how easy it was to manoover. Hugs Mrs A.

    Such a very sweet! Great job on how you made the layers.
    I love all these challenges I am seeing. They are very motivating. Now if I only had a clone to sit here at work think of how much playing I could get done!

    Great image and a super card, great choice of colours and die.
    I did get the banner image onto my post but when I went to preview (which I don't normally do) the banner had disappeared. I did it time and time again and always the same so decided to try just posting it and it disappeared again, I did plenty of saving during the post so goodness knows what was going on but a few commenters say they are having trouble with blogger one way or another.

    This is a cute image and you made a fun card with it. I love all the seed packets and the seeds scattered about. It's always great to send a just because card to a friend.
