Sketch N Stash Challenge 61

This is for the Sketch N Stash challenge 61. The image is a new free digi by Sliekje coloured with promarkers and cut with a nestie. She has some really cute images and they're free. Please pop over and visit her.

The papers I've had for ages are by My Minds Eye and were free with a magazine. A Martha Stewart border punch, some rickrac from my stash and some brads in the centre of the flowers to finish

Less Is More Week 15

Week 15 at Less Is More and it's Embossing on a one layer card

This is my first entry. Dry embossing for the main part of the card and a stamp from Stampin Up's Pocket Silhouettes stamped in Rich Razzleberry and embossed with clear powder in the centre

Less Is More Week 14 - White On White

The Less Is More challenge this week is White on White. I think these cards look so elegant but I'm not over the moon with what I have done  and I've not got time to have another go so it will have to do. The base card was embossed with the Crafts Too dots embossing folder and the snowman is a cuttlebug cut & emboss set. The letters are Vintage Market Sizzlit strip. I've added a close up of the snowmans face as it doesn't really show in the main photo

Less Is More Week 13

I was stunned that one of my week 11 cards was showcased on the Less Is More blog - such an honour when they have so many wonderful entries. I also had some great feedback from Mandi and I remade the two cards and they do look so much better than my original. These ladies certainly know their stuff.

Week 13 - Lucky Dip is either Thank You or Congratulations. I've been playing on and off all day for this one and my bin is full! I was packing away as a bad job when I spotted my Thank You Kindly set by Stampin Up. As soon as I saw this sentiment I knew what to do so out came the Musical Note wheel (also by Stampin Up) pacific point inkpad and hey presto - all done

Less Is More Week 12 - take 3

Having done the last two cards for Less Is More, I was sorting out my stamps and came across some Inkadinkadoo sets that I had forgotten about. The lovely sweeping birds are from the Birds Galore set. This set also has 4 individual birds including a lovely owl. The sentiment is from another Inkadinkadoo set - Thoughts For The Day. Both stamped with Versafine sepia

Less Is More Week 10 take 2

This is my second entry for Less Is More Week 12. I've used the Stampin Up set Because I Care. The flower is stamped with Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive with stickles added to the centre of the flowers which you can see on the second photo. I know it should be less but I couldn't help but add some pricking to the top right corner to balance it

Less Is More Week 12

Less Is More theme this week is a recipe of "Off Centre". I had time for a bit of a play yesterday and came up with three cards. I think this first one is my favorite but it doesn't look that clean to me. I used distress ink for the background over a Tim Holtz clock mask. The greeting is by Stampin Up from the Sense of Time set.

Less Is More Week 11 - take 2

I decided to have another go at week 11 Less Is More challenge. On this card I've used Creative Expressions Vintage Photography stamp set and Tim Holtz Filmstrip Frames die which is backed with acetate. I've pricked the top corners to finish

Less Is More Week 11 - Acetate

 The Less Is More challenge for week 11 is to use acetate. For this, I've cut the Sizzix owl die from acetate twice and coloured it with alcohol inks, one it light tones and the other darker. I cut the darker one and layered it onto the lighter one. The corners are pricked and the frame is embossed onto the card with a nestie. The greeting is by Woodware.

Sketch N Stash Challenge 59

This is my entry for the Sketch N Stash Challenge 59 and I'm also entering it in the Crafter's Reunited April Inspirationals challenge which must have one button - I like to be cryptic!

The image is a new one from Kenny K called Bathing Beauty. The papers are Cupcakes by Crafts House. I've had them ages and they are lovely and pearlescent but as there are six of each, I thought it about time I cut into some of them.
