Monochrome

Hello,  Thankfully the zucchini season is coming to an end.  We have had a very good season and have had zucchinis coming out our ears.  I have shared them with friends, family, neighbours and every one at work.  Out of desperation I have found lots of new recipes.  One of my favourite finds is Clotilde Dusoulier's Chocolate Zucchini Cake recipe. This is a beautifully moist chocolate cake.  Clotilde is a French food writer based in Paris.  Clotilde had a great anecdote about zuchinnis which I which I thought was very funny.   "An American friend once explained to me that nobody ever locks their car in her small town… except when it’s zucchini season. Leave your door unlocked then, and you risk coming back to find a crate of zucchini left on your passenger seat."  Perhaps I could try this tactic next year.

Lifesaver

Today I have a post for Less is More challenge #317 Sketch 19

I have used the Simon Says Stamp set of Sailing stamps.  The lifesaver was stamped once on the mounting card and again on a scrap of card.  The second image was coloured using Copic and then cut out and popped up on foam tape over the first image.  The inks used were - Hero Arts Navy, Distress Unk Firebrick and Memento Tuxedo Black.  The Simon Says Stamp Holiday Shapes dies were used cut out some stars.  These were embossed with Hero Arts gold embossing powder.  Finaly the card was assembled.  

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
