Friends

A quick post today for the Less is More challenge - Friends!  I've used one of my favourite stamps from  Art Impressions, called 'Old Guys'.


I love the silence of those old guys, sitting companionably on the park bench, not needing to talk, or fill the space, just content to be with old friends.  How lucky are they?

I coloured the image with Copics, and added a panel of denim-looking paper at the side.  I also stamped the image at the bottom of my card, leaving some of the original stamp off the page - it is a neat technique I have seen Therese Calvird do a number of times, and I think it can make a simple image look more effective.  I have included a link to her blog here.  After taking the photo for this challenge at night, I added pin points to their eyes - they are not so visible in the photo.  Hoping everyone is enjoying the companionship of friends in their lives - where would we be without them?

  7. Fab card. Love your CASe - Therese is very inspirational. Fab image too. It reminds me of our Mr M - we call the chairs at shopping centres "M chairs". Having 3 sisters and often taken with us to the shops he waits for us on the chairs. He doesn't have these guys expression but this just reminds me of him.
