Lime and Black

When I saw that this weeks challenge at Less is More I knew I had nothing lime! so had to make a visit to my nearest craft shop Yandles at Martock, and glad I went because they had people demonstrating there, and Jill of Jill Quills was there and I was fortunate enough to see the Anniversary card she has just made, do take a look of the link.
My card was made using the lime card and also a memory box die cut.

Licorice and white

Have been visiting Sues's blog today A consuming passion and say she had made a lovely card for the challenge at Annablle Stamp blog and it encouraged me to enter, I just hope I didn't have to use one of their products as it didn't mention this, but it was fun doing the card.  The lacy border punch is one of Martha Stewarts punches, the sentiment was computer generated.  On the butterflies I have used 1mm black flat backed gems!!  not sure I will use those very often!  they were a devil to get into place.

scalloped thank you

The challenge for this week at Less is More - they are asking for a scalloped card, I cut 2 scallops one with orange and one black, then cut every other scallop away, I thought it added interest, the text was computer generated.  I also added some black flat backed gems.

Framed card

I'm back to blogging again, I don't know where the last 3 months has gone, well there was Christmas and also a holiday in Egypt, have made a few cards that needed to get straight out but never got the the camera.
Less is More challenge this week was a framed card, I have layered the yellow and green balloons and embossed them with clear powder to give a bit of interest.

In a row

I found this challenge at Less is More difficult this week, or perhaps its because there is a lot going on at the moment, but managed to produce this.

Memory box poppy

I love this memory box die.  This photograph doesn't do it justice, the poppy is cut from mirror card, and its for the Less is More challenge, where they want to see sparkles or shine.

Flowering Christmas tree

Week 72 for the Less is More challenge this week is a theme, and the theme is 'Shiny'.  I used a Memory Box die called flowering Christmas Tree, not easy to photograph today with all this rain! I also used a Friskars border punch, sorry Chrissie and Mandy not as much white space as I would have liked.

One layer card

This is 2 firsts for me, sponging and masking, I have used 3 stamps from the same set, they have all been embossed, was unsure about a sentiment so left it out.
I am entering the card for 2 challenges, Less is More where it has to be a one layer card and 3 stamps had to be used. And for One Layer Wednesday where the stamped area has to be no larger than 2" X 2".
