LIM DT: Solid and outline

It’s a new challenge over at Less is More, to use both a solid and an outline. I made two cards, and it was a close toss-up as to which I was going to feature as my design team card. This one won out eventually:

I could have lined up the outlines perfectly (using a stamp positioner) but I liked the offset look that occurred when I did it all by eye. I think it emphasises the solid and outline as distinct elements.

The second card is far more colourful and uses the coffee stain abstract border as the outline to the solid watercolour. I outlined with a faux stitch for another thematic element. The solid handwritten text does the same:
