It's now Week 6 of Less is More, and they want to see a one layer card with the intriguing theme of "Off the Edge". My first thought was of footprints marching on to and off the page. Trouble was, I didn't have a footprints stamps, but I figured it would be a fairly easy shape to carve by hand, so I made one from an eraser. I did, however, have the perfect sentiment to go with it, from an Aspects of Design set by The Stampman. I've had the set for a while, but haven't had occasion to use the sentiment before, and it's one I really like. I stamped that first, then made the footprints walk across the page in different colours of Versamagic inks.
I think this is a great theme, and some of the examples already posted at LIM are fantastic. I feel a second entry coming on, if I get time this week!

Goodness me, Lynne. What a brilliant idea making a stamp from an eraser. I love your footprints walking across and that certainly is a gorgeous sentiment. I may have to have a go at this one myself this time. I need to join this merry band of crafters!!
Hope you've had a great weekend. Did you get the lovely sunshine today?

How clever to make your own 'feet' I love the design and how perfectly it fits the challenge. Zx
Clever, clever you! I love your innovative idea and the quote you put with your footprints.
