Purple Condolence card

The Challenge this week at Less is More is to use punches or die cuts, my image is from Tiddly Inks this was cut out with oval nestabilities and the decorative corner was cut out using prova craft die cut. The sentiment was computer generated.

Card with stripes

The challenge this week at Less is More is to use stripes and it has to be a one layer card.

I used a Penny Black stamp called constellations and embossed it in black, I did add a gem to the centre of each flower as I felt the flowers looked too black! I hope a gem isn't classed as another layer.

After doing the card with the black flowers I tried it with white embossing but although it stands out on the card when I took the photograph it is hard to see. The sentiments on both cards were computer generated using Black Chancery font

Do take a look at Chrissie's and Mandi's blog they do such wonderful work.

Aqua card for Less is More

The Less is More challenge this week is a colour challenge and we are to use the colour Aqua, so I used a font called Damask Dings, and managed to get the right colour to match some card I had. To finish it I stuck a rhinestone that my friend Joan from Portland Oregan sent me.
I hope you will all visit Chrissie and Mandi's blogs to see their wonderful work.

Plaid card

Card made for the challenge at Less is More, this week we were given a sketch to follow.

Musical note card

The challenge this week at Less is More is Music, quite a simple card, the musical note was a sizzix die cut, sorry for the poor photograph but taken with artifical light.

Just Green and white

The Challenge this week with Less is More is to use Green, I didnt find this easy, I just wanted to add a splash of something else, I am not sure if you can see but there are snowflakes embossed in white at the top, would really have like for them to be silver. The trees were cut from green card and used the dotty stamp from the Stampin Up polka dots and paisley set and embossed with white, add a few white pearls, and the paper was torn to give the effect of snow drifts I hope!

Fantasy Tree again

Using Penny Blacks Fantasy Tree again, this time for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where we were asked to use embossing and Red together of course with a Penny Black stamp. My fantasy tree was embossed with silver (but with poor light today Im afraid the photograph doesn't show it up very well), I have used Xmas red stickles on the tree and mounted it on Red mirir card, the sentiment is computer generated with the font called Bikham Cyr script.

Penny Blacks Fantasy Tree

A few more Christmas cards! this first card is a single layer card using Penny Blacks Fantasy Tree, entering this card for the Less is More challenge which asked for BLING! for the blong I used Sticklers Golden Rod. The sentiment was Computer generated with the free font Bikham Cyr Script.

The second card is the same but the image I have mounted on mirror card.

Found them both very difficult to photograph.

Christmas silhouettes

Another card to add to my Christmas card box, This week at Less is More the challenge is 'silhouettes' so back I went again to using my favourite Chistmas font Su Lucas Christmas silhouettes, I now wish I hadnt added the red corners, I think it makes it look too busy, perhaps some will comment on that, all comments welcome.

Lovely as a tree leaf card

Another week at Less is More and this week the challenge is a one layer card 'Leaves' I have chosen a stamp from the Stampin Up set called Lovely as a tree, it is embossed with gold and coloured with green whispers pen. The sentiment is computer generated.

Poinsettia card

The challenge at Less is More this week is a colour challenge and the colours are Red and Orange, I knew I must get on with making Christmas cards and it was a good chance to use my new Sizzix poinsettia die cuts. The sentiment was computer generated.

Star card

Im back from my travels, China, to Singapore and was glad to find that England wasnt too cold. Really had to make a card for this weeks challenge at Less is More, a star card, I used a digital graphic from Birds Card, altered the colour to green and topped the large tree with a gold star brad. The sentiment is computer generated.
