Bee-lated Birthday Wishes

This is my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge - it's the dreaded One Layer Card this week and the challenge is to 'Adapt A Fingerprint'.

I've cheated a little bit and used two Pink Petticoat images of Bees - I used my fingerprint to colour them with Mustard Seed Distress Ink, I also added a little clear Wink of Stella glitter to their wings.

I used a Crafters Workshop stencil and some more Mustard Seed Distress Ink to create the background.  I really wanted to add a layer of yellow card stock but as it has to be a One Layer card I just inked the edges a little.

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

Less is More Week 180 - One Layer Card
That's Crafty! Challenge Blog - Masks, Stencils, Templates

Divas by Design - Things with wings
CAS on Sunday Challenge 37 - One layer wonder

Beside the Seaside

This is a very simple card that I have made using a fabulous new image from Pink Gem Designs called Beach Hut.

The digi stamp is a single beach hut - I copied it and layered it up to create my little scene.  I coloured it with ProMarkers trying to keep it very simple and washed out - I'm not sure I actually succeeded though!

The little banner has been hand cut from some Pink Petticoat papers.

Merry Christmas Wishes

Good morning again!  This is my second post today - please scroll down for my Bearly Mine Inspiration Post.

It's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland and our theme for this week is Three of Three, for example: Three papers, Three snowflakes and Three people in image - please tell us what they are

I have used an image from Pink Petticoat and created a CAS card. My Three of Three are - Three presents, Three enamel dots and a Three word sentiment.

I coloured my image with ProMarkers and added Wink of Stella clear glitter to the presents and 3D Crystal Lacquer to the holly berries.  I used the same ProMarker to colour some card stock for the sides.  The enamel dots are from Studio Calico and the string has also been coloured to match.

The images are Modern Flowers from the Digi Stamp Boutique, I printed them onto Kraft card stock and coloured them with my Spectrum Noir colouring pencils, the sentiment is also from the Digi Stamp Boutique.

Earth Tones

I'm gradually getting back into the swing of things after being poorly and then going away for a week.  I've managed a card for the Less is More Challenge this week - the theme is Earth Tones.

I decided to make a Thank You card - Laurence will need a few of these to say thank you for his Birthday gifts.

I have been wanting to try the inset die cutting technique for quite some time now so I thought I would give it a go on this card.  The papers are from the First Edition J'Adore collection and the beige card stock is from my stash.  The 'thank you' is a Die-namics die cut and I have punched a border with an EK Success punch.

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

Less is More Week 179 - Earth Tones
Everybody Art Challenge 286 - Monocrome
Fan-Tastic Tuesday Challenge 43 - Anything Goes

Seaside Fun

It's time for our mid challenge reminder at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, this fortnight it's Lorraine's turn to host and she has chosen everyone's favourite theme: Anything Goes.

I have missed the last few weeks due to being poorly and then going on holiday for a week so I'm really pleased that I have managed a card this time.

I've used a fabulous decoupage image from Joanna Sheen's House-Mouse Silly Summer collection and papers from the House-Mouse Triple CD and Bearly Mine Designs.

I have used Kraft card stock and burlap ribbon, I also attached some shell beads from an old necklace with some twine.  The banner is a Die-namics die and the border is an EK Success punch.   I collected the little shells whilst on our holiday.  You can just about see some of the decoupage layers in this photograph.

This challenge is being sponsored by:

Marianne Design
