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.

Provo craft leaf

Less is more challenge week 34, and this time they have given us a sketch to follow, and I needed a card to say Thank you to my friend Ann for taking me out for the day yesterday, we drove to the North Coast of Somerset, and saw the magnificent view from the church at Selworthy (this was our coffee stop) we then travelled up Porlock hill and along the coast to Lynmouth, had lunch there and then went up the Victorian water power lift to Lynton. We then travelled onto Tarr Steps for tea, before retuning home, a most enjoyable day.

The card - first I used my Prova craft leaf to cut out a shape, on the Orange card I printed 'Thank You' several times using Papyrus font, and mounted the leaf on top. I ran a metallic gold pen aroung the edges, and I did this also on the card. The sentiment was computer generated again with Papyrus font.

Christmas with digistamp boutique

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.

Holy Triptych

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!

In the frame

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.
