Baby girl card

The theme challenge this week at Less is More is to make a card for a child or baby, I used the KiddyDing font which you can get free from Dafont I coloured the bow pink to match the paper.

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".

Yellow colour challenge

How the week is flying by, the challenge this week at Less is More is a colour challenge and the main focus colour is Yellow.

Golden Wedding Card

I expect you have been wondering what has happened to me... well, a lot going on, including a cruise on the QM2 from Dubai to Southampton, which was lovely, so now back and need to get crafting again.
This card is for the Less is More Challenge, where we were given a sketch to follow.

Neutrals

Week 57 at Less is More and Mandi and Chrissie are asking us to make a card with Neutral colours, not my favourites, it means no white! and I always start with a white card, well I guess its good to do things sometimes you dont like, so I have given it a try.

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.
Sometimes my cards wont enlarge when they are posted, if anyone can tell me why this is I would be very grateful, lets hope this one will.

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.
