Snowman Dreaming.

It's time for a new challenge at Paper Creator's Crafts and the theme for this months challenge is Simply Christmas - Paper Creator products are not essential but you will gain an extra entry for using them.

I created the base layer in word, adding the Pink Petticoat sentiment and doodled edge.

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.

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
