Watercolour Thank You

I have made two cards for this weeks Less is More challenge, it's lucky dip week and the theme is Watercolour.

I scribbled a couple of my Spectrum Aqua pens onto a piece of acetate and added some water before dabbing some card stock on it to pick up the colour.  When dry, I stamped a selection of flowers and leaves from my Altenew Adore You stamp set and fussy cut them.

For this first card I stamped the sentiment from the Adore You stamp set directly onto the card front and added a layer of black card stock.

For my second card I changed the orientation and stamped the sentiment onto a separate piece of card stock before cutting it into a banner shape and adding a small piece of black card stock behind it.

I added a few black pearls to embellish both cards.

I would like to enter these cards into this weeks Less is More Challenge #348 - Watercolour.

Watercolour Thank You

This is my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge - the theme is Pierce Your Project, I'm afraid I went for the easy option and used my Sue Wilson Pierced Rectangle Die.

I finally got around to using my new Distress Oxide inks, I swooshed them onto some watercolour card stock and then stamped the Altenew flowers and leaves.  I fussy cut them and attached them to my die cut rectangle.

The sentiment is from the same Altenew stamp set as the flowers, I think it is called 'Adore You'.

Birthday Roses

Those of you that visit my blog regularly might remember a card that I created for the Less is More Challenge using this Altenew stamp & die collection, I had a few roses left over from that card so I decided to make another and use them up.

I die cut and outline stamped my roses before colouring them with ProMarkers, I then used two different shades of ink to stamp the details on top of the coloured die cuts. I used my Misti to do this - it makes it so much easier. I then repeated the process with the leaves.

The sentiment is from another Altenew set and the enamel dots are from my stash.

THANK YOU so much

This is my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge, this time we have been given a sketch to follow.

I have used an Altenew stamp & die collection that was free with Issue 157 of Simply Cards & Papercraft - they are actually Christmas Roses but I think you can use them for any time of the year.

I die cut and outline stamped my roses before colouring them with ProMarkers, I then used two different shades of ink to stamp the details on top of the coloured die cuts.  I'm so pleased that I have a Misti - it makes this job so much easier.  I then repeated the process with the leaves.

I printed a sentiment from Pink Petticoat and adhered everything with 3D glue gel for dimension.

I would like to enter this card into the Less is More Challenge Week 334 - Sketch 20

Thank you for calling today, your company is much appreciated - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

Stamped Flowers

I've made a card for this weeks Less is More Challenge - the theme is 3 Stamps.

I've used my new AlteNew stamps to stamp three flowers, the flowers are made up using three separate stamps - sounds easy doesn't it, well it took me a whole afternoon to make this card and I'm still not really happy with the stamping.

I added a sentiment from Craftwork Cards and three little black pearls from my stash.

I've seen some beautiful cards on Pinterest using this style of stamps so I think I will be having another go - they say practice makes perfect, watch this space.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
