Sorry but not that good a photograph, no sun today! but the card it cream, and the colour of the branch is brown and the text is the same colour, the flowers are dark brown and for the centres of the flowers I used cream pearlised card, it doesnt show in the photo.
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.
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!
The second card is the same but the image I have mounted on mirror card.
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.
When I saw this image at Digistamp Boutique I knew I had to have it, and I made this card for the Less is More challenge which this week its anything goes. I picked up the green from the palm tress for the bottom layer, and the sentiment was computer generated.
Yes, I know I have been absent for a long time, but crafting in the summer isnt really the same for me :) and am now back from my travels, and had to enterong this card for the Less is More challenge this week. I used one of my favourite Stampin up Christmas stamps from the Holy Triptych set and embossed it, the sentiment I did in publisher, similar to a rubber stamp!
One layer card in the frame is the challenge this week at Less is More, so I used a digital image from Digital two for tuesday, the sentiment was computer generated.
Sorry I have been absent for so long, I have been busy and away visiting family.
I enjoyed a lovely afternoon yesterday following after the Royal Wedding, it was a party organised by the Church I worship at, it was held in the church hall, there were a varity of ages there from under one year to over 90. There were crafts for the children at the start, and then we sat down to a lovely tea, we all took a contribution, savouries and cakes, and our Rector is a member of the magic circle and entertained us. So I felt it would be nice to make a card as a 'thank you' for the people that organised it. I kept to the 'red, white and blue' colour theme. All three of the butterflies I covered with Rangers glossy accents, its the first time I have used them and am pleased with the result. The sentiment is computer generated using the Pristina font.
Another week has passed and this weeks challenge at Less is More is 'Off Centre' which means they are looking for cards with little or no symmetry but perfect balance, I hope I have achieve this with my card. The sentiment I did myself in Microsoft Publisher, the branch I hand drew, well scribbled is more like it, and the flowers are punched out, I was trying to make it look like a branch of cherry blossom! I do so admire Selmas cards, you can see then on her blog here she makes the most wonderful cards with handmade flowers on them.
It's Saturday again and that means another Less is More challenge, this week we are asked to make a one layer card with the sentiment as the main focus, I used a Clarity stamp 'Peace', which I embossed with gold, and inside the 'C' I placed the 3 wise men which is from the Christmas silhouttes font which you can get as a free download from http://www.dafont.com/ . 
We are on week 9 at Less is More and this week was a colour challenge - A touch of Red, my card is a square card, I drew the tail, legs and the beak freehand, the speech balloon and the sentiment was done in Microsoft Publisher, and the red was a button onto which I stuck an eye! 
This week for the Less is More challenge we were given a sketch to follow, I was inspired with Chrissie's card this week, she made 2 cards and both cards she made patterened paper using background rubber stamps, I dont have any of these so decided to make my own using many different fonts, and then printed it onto green paper. I made my daisies with a punch and painted the tips pink and the centre orange to match my centre band of colour. The top 'Thank You' was computer generated. Also for the 2 Sisters challenge - make own embellishments 
My second card this week for the Less is More challenge, this time I used patterned papr from the Dovecraft charcoal prints a stripe paper cut a strip and then used my Hougie board and creased it every 1/2cm and made this rosette, finished it off with a black pearl, layered it onto white card which was embossed with swiss dots and then black. The sentiment was computer generated with the Scriptina font.
Another challenge at Less is More week 7 already and this week we were asked to make a masculine card, Chrissie and Mandi are working so hard with this site, if you havent already visited it do go and take a look, and also visit Chrissie and Mandi and see what wonderful blogs they have.
