Less is More Week 12

This week the "Limettes" are asked to produce a card that is "Off Centre".
For my card I have stamped a "Dandelion" from Lavinia stamps with Stazon and then added a touch of holographic glitter using a glue pen.
Stamped a greeting from Pink Petticoat - free with Simply Cards and Papercraft this month.








Close up of the glitter!

Bah Humbug Week 16 - Father Christmas

It's been a struggle to think about making Christmas cards with the scorching temperatures we are having this Easter!

I bought a Hot Off The Press card kit from QVC a couple of years ago and knew there were a few pages left.  I wanted to use this one for the "Cards that make you giggle" week, but could I find it?  Well, better late than never!

Check out Bah Humbug for the latest challenge!

Less is More Week 11 - Acetate and updated!

See end of post for update!

Hi All

Over at Less is More this week we are challenged to use Acetate.  Not something I've used a lot of!
For my card I stamped Hobby Art Trees with Stazon on the front of the acetate and then splodged (technical term!) alcohol inks - red pepper and lettuce on the reverse. I stuck the acetate to the card with stiki glue pen gluing behind the trees - thanks for the tip Mandi, I think finding a way to adhere acetate is what has put me off in the past.

Thanks for looking

Update

Followed Chrissie's advice and put a frame around the image.Much easier to hide glue and it sets off the picture!

Less is More Week 10 - One Layer

For my card I have used a computer generated sentiment and a Tim Holtz mini stamp inked with Adirondack Slate.

Sorry everything is so "white"! A bit rushed today!

Less is More Week 9 - A Touch of Red

This weeks challenge at Less is More is a card with a touch of red.  Chrissie and Mandi have done some lovely examples on their blog.  Now, I'm not really a "red" person (probably cos I've got red hair!), but here's my effort. Stamp is from Clare Curd Doodles stamps, embossed in gold, painted with cosmic shimmers and finished with a colored gem on each flower.  I did have a lovely little rub on sentiment but it decided to rip the card rather than release from the sheet so had to stick one on instead!

Bah Humbug Week 13 - Cards to make you giggle!

Over at Bah Humbug this week they have asked us to make a card that makes you giggle.  Well, sadly I couldn't find anything nearly as cheeky as Anne's card, but did find these cute reindeer from See-D'S.
