Off the edge

It's one layer week at Less is More and the challenge this time is to stamp off the edge of the card.

I didn't find this too challenging as it's something I quite often do with CAS designs - either off the edge of the card itself or off a panel if it's not a one layer project. I think it helps to avoid the "floating in nothing" problem and often creates a sense of movement, too.

I stamped the balloon off the edge and masked it, then masked off the square and sponged ink over a torn piece of paper to create a slightly cloudy look to the sky. I ran a marker round the inside edge of a Nestie to create the fine borderline - the Memento markers are good for this as they have a nice firm, fine nib as well as the brush one.

Stamps:
Hot Air Balloon (unknown maker - if you recognise it, I'd love to know!)
Sentiment from Ornamental Beauty set (CHF, retired)

Paper:
smooth white

Ink:
Brilliance by Tsukineko (Graphite black)
Distress ink by Ranger to sponge the sky (Tumbled Glass)

Other:
Copic markers
Nestie (used as template)
Memento marker (Tuxedo Black)
