The Jazz Age

This is my entry for the Less Is More challenge, the challenge this week is embossing. I stamped the background using a Marvy shades of orange blending blox ink pad and a Stampers Anonymous stamp off the psychedelic grunge set. For the main image I decided to use the lovely Hampton Art jazz stamp set that I bought at the Biggin Hill craft show last weekend. I stamped it with black pigment ink and embossed with black embossing powder, I also embossed the words.
