Less Is More

This week at Less is More the challenge is to make a card combining any 3 of the previous challenges.

Here is my card;

The challenge I included are;

1 – Circles

2 – A Touch of Red

3  - Butterflies

4 – Acetate

I only needed 3 challenges but it ended up with 4.

The circles were cut with Nestabilities and the stamp was the free cover gift on Craft Stamper which is my favourite magazine at the moment – so many great ideas.

A Flower, A Gem and Ribbon

This weeks challenge at Scrapbook Sisters is a recipe to include a flower, a gem and ribbon on your card. Here is my card;

I used a new Penny Black stamp which I bought recently at a stamp Show at half price (bargain) which I coloured with my Copics. I added ribbon roses which come on a tulle backing and some pink ribbon underneath. The gems are on the bunting.

I would like to enter this card for;

Allsorts @ Penny Black Challenge.

Here is my version of Shimelle’s layout.

Here is Shimelle’s original

I have had 3 of these bingo cards for a while now – I bought them online and was surprised how big they were as I thought that I had bought the smaller ones so I welcomed some inspiration on how to use them.

I am entering this for Shimelle’s Butterflies and Bingo Cards Challenge

Here is my layout for Shimelle’s sticker layout challenge which is to add stickers not from the same range of papers.

The papers are Echo Park Springtime and the stickers are Cosmo Cricket, American Crafts, Papermania Alphas and Phrase Cafe.

Challenge 2

This week at Less is More the challenge is to make a one layer card using ink.

After much deliberation and three aborted attempts at cards I came up with this one and yes, it is my first Christmas Card of the year and it’s only August!

I used a Crafters Workshop template to ink through using Cloudy Blue Adirondack ink and some Cut and Dry. I then stamped the bare tree using a Black Tuxedo Memento ink pad. The stamp is a Penny Black stamp (love Penny Black stamps!) and is actually called Nature’s Dance. The Seasons Greetings stamp is part of a Woodware clear stamp set called A Winter’s Day.

All of the items used for this card were bought at Scrapbook Sisters.

I’m off craft shopping today – yippee!!! - the only thing that I really need is some more A4 white card as I have used my last sheet making this card – so you see I really do need to go shopping Of course I may have to buy one or two other things too! I’ll let you know when I get back.
