Celebrate with a bang!

I have created this card for the latest Less is More Challenge - I am determined to join in more this year.  There is a sketch to follow this time and this is my interpretation.

I used a stamp from the Hunkydory For the Love of Stamps December Bundle called Fantastic Fireworks.

I stamped the firework stamp several times in each corner and heat embossed it in gold, I also added a sentiment from the set.

I would like to enter this card into the Less is More Challenge #360 & #361 - Sketch 22.

This is the sketch:

Birthday Stars

This is my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge, it's the dreaded one layer week and the theme is Stars.

I used four stamp sets to create this simple card!  The sentiment is from Creative Expressions, the large stars are from the Clearly Besotted Superstar stamp set, the smallest solid stars are from the Clearly Besotted Many Thanks stamp set and the larger solid stars are from the Lawn Fawn Summertime Charm stamp set.

I used Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink - these inks stamp up beautifully.

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.

Hello Autumn

I have made two cards for this weeks Less is More Challenge - we have a sketch to use this week.

I'm in Autumn mode at the moment, this first card uses stamps and a sentiment from the Sara Davies Autumn Morning Signature collection.

I created the green boxes in word and also printed the card base with the same colour.

I have used the same stamp set on my second card but this one is more colourful.

I cut the card front out with one of my Sue Wilson stitched rectangle dies and cut the sentiment banner by hand.

I would like to enter these cards into this weeks Less is More Challenge - Sketch 21.

Just to Say

This is my offering for this weeks Less is More Challenge - the theme is Take Flight.

I decided to go with butterflies and used some that I had left over from another card that I had created with my Sue Wilson Cascading Butterflies Die - I coloured them with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens.  The leaves are from the Clearly Besotted Leafy Accents collection.

The gingham background is from Bearly Mine Designs and the sentiment is from Pink Petticoat, now trading as The Lovely Studio.

Get lost (in a good book)

This is my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge - the theme is Use A Real Object, I have used a paperclip and a staple on my card.

The cute little Book Worm and book are Clearly Besotted stamps, I coloured them with ProMarkers and cut the worm out with the corresponding die - I fussy cut the book as this didn't have a die.
I used a Die-namics die to cut the torn notebook edge and the graph papers are from Echo Park.  I computer generated the sentiment as I didn't have the add on stamps that came with the Book Worm set.

I would like to enter this card into this weeks Less is More Challenge 343 - Use A Real Object.

Beside the seaside ...

I am absolutely thrilled to be Guest Designer at Less is More this week, thank you so much for inviting me ladies.  The theme for the week is 'Your Perfect Holiday', well my perfect holiday is relaxing by the sea - preferably on a lovely sunny day.

I used my Sue Wilson Flip Flops die to cut three pairs of flip flops from the papers in this month's Julie Loves Creativity Box - they are quite fiddly to put together but I think they are worth it, my inspiration came from a card that I saw on Pinterest a long time ago.

The torn paper is from the Sara Davies Shabby Chic Signature Collection and the sentiment is from Pink Petticoat, now trading as The Lovely Studio.

To finish my card I added some twine secured with bow.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, make sure you pop over to the Less is More Challenge Blog and check out the fabulous DT inspiration, I do hope you will be inspired to play along.
