Less is More Week 30 (No 2)

My second entry for the Less is More Take Three Challenge.

For this card I have combined

19 - In the Frame
20 - Monogram
15 - Embossing

I have very few stamps with letters on so the Monogram (our initials) is computer generated, I then stamped Butterfly Flourish Swirls from Chocolate Baroque with Dew Drop Brilliance Platinum Planet, die cut a frame from Spellbinders Labels 5 and embossed with a swirly folder.  All put onto a Pearl coloured card as out next Anniversary will be our 30th which I believe is pearl.

Well that's  another 2 of the missed challenges ticked off the list - just got 22, 23 and 24 left to do!

(Don't tell Chrissie and Mandi but I will probably mount this onto a larger card with sentiment, ribbons, buttons, etc!  Just need to remember where it is next April.)

Less is More Week 30 Take Three Challenges

Time for another Less is More challenge!

"We have chosen a Recipe this time

Take 3 Challenges

We want you to choose 3 from any of our previous 29 and combine them in your design."

For my card I have chosen 3 of the challenges I have missed!  I missed the very first one and a few when doing the dreaded decorating (almost finished!)

No 1 - Pink, Black and White

No 21 - Sketch

No 25 - Button or Ribbon

I used Elusive Images Bold Blooms stamp, coloured with Magenta Shimmerz and Cosmic Shimmer White watercolour paint, a bit of glitter in the centres and a ribbon to finish.

Well I've caught up on three of the challenges have to see if I can catch up on all of them!

Bah Humbug Week 34 Here Come the Girls

This is the challenge at Bah Humbug this week

Here Come The Girls!

OH YES!  We want to see your girly-est girly ideas whatever they may be.  

Now, I don't do "People" very often in my cards - I don't know why! But I had just given into temptation and bought a Goody Box from the Craft Barn and this stamp was in it - Sarah Kay "Noel Treats". Good timing or what!
Coloured in with Promarkers, cut with Spellbinders Label 5, BP from stash and Spellbinders snowflake to finish.

Thanks for looking

Less is More Week 29 (no 2)

A variation of my previous post!

I said I would try a shaker card and here it is!

(Sorry, very poor light tonight.)

Stamped and coloured as before, made a frame with  Sizzix dies, acetate and blended inks, popped in a few beads and finished with a bow!

Bah Humbug Week 33 (and 27!)

The challenge at Bah Humbug is "Something New"

This could be a new purchase or a new technique.



For my card I chose the Fantastic Steampunk Christmas stamps, a fairly recent purchase  from Chocolate Baroque. Although I used this stamp for the White on White challenge recently the camera does no justice! So I tried again! Embossed in silver this time.




Close up detail.

I've missed a few challenges due to decorating so I've tried to catch up.  This is for week 27 Meeces!
A Margaret Sherry design that came on a free CD with a magazine. Printed off the digi stamp and coloured with Promarkers.


Hope to catch up on a few more missed challenges - I am in my new craft room but not unpacked as yet!

Less is More Week 29 - Things That Move

A new challenge at Less is More!

Now onto this week's challenge which is a 'Theme' and we would like to see

Things that Move

This could be interpreted in a variety of ways...an actual moving component on your card, so a pop up, a shaker, a spinner, a charm, a tag... we could go on... 

On the other hand your card could have an image of something capable of movement, so the scope for that is almost infinitesimal!

Whatever you do, we're sure that all you LIMettes will be totally creative!

 

For my card I used  an Artemio stamp set - Hydrangea (fantastic value at £1.99 for 4 little stamps!)

I stamped with Archival Black and coloured with water colour pencils.

Might have another go with this set and make a shaker card!

See you later

Less is More

My second card for this challenge!

For my card I die cut Tim Holtz Ornamental Die and used the waste as a mask. I then used Ink Dusters to add Adirondack  Lettuce, Pesto and Eggplant and DI Spun Sugar. I then stamped a lavender image twice (Chocolate Baroque Wild Meadow) and highlighted with inks.

Check out Less is More for some great entries,
