Hello All!

Time for another 'Less is More' Challenge ! 

This week the challenge is this:

 

We have a very simple recipe this week and that is simply to make a card which is

NOT A SQUARE

nor a rectangle for that matter.

What we're really trying to say is that we want a shaped card.

 

 And here is my rather strange effort!It is the first time I have tried to shape a card using a Spellbinders Die and I made quite a few mistakes I can tell you,cutting out bits I didn't want to and so on!But the result is interesting and I used the cut outs as masks to add some distress interest! ( with the colour 'spiced marmalade).Very sparkly gemstones from papermania!Oh and that is my darling cat Jessie!He is completely wonderful!Thank you to all the lovely crafters that have left positive messages and comments..I can't quite work out how to respond to you individually,but will keep trying!With love and warm sunshine :) x

Good morning!
Another entry for the 'Less is More Challenge'!
This week the brief is to produce a :

ONE LAYER CARD

This time we have the stipulation to

USE THREE STAMPS

not four, not two... but 3!

And here is my effort!I used a grass stamp (with peeled paint distress ink),and a separate flower head stamp (with mustard seed distress ink) and finally the sentiment was stamped with ranger archival black ink.

I loved doing it !

And this is a picture of a very sweet bee stamp I bought for £1.50 from cart-us stamps!I adore bees and they are so important to our planet..

And I have met the man who mysteriously left an orchid on my car..he is rather lovely and 6ft 5!!And lastly here is a picture of my new nephew :) x

Hello everyone!Today is a wonderful day!At 10.44am I became an Aunty,and it feels great :)

And I am having a go at this weeks 'Less is More' Challenge  .

It is all about the colour Yellow,and I don't know about you but I could do with some sunshine!

My card is made with a sweet stamp that I have had for ages and can't remember where it came from sadly,papermania rhinestones,versa colour in Canary which I stamped with and distressed the edge with and ranger distress ink in Tea Dye,the sentiment was stamped in Ranger Archival in Sepia and I went over it with a brown staedtler fine liner!Ooooh and of course a yellow glitter pen!What fun!
And to make my day complete an Orchid was left with a card on my car from an admirer...addressed "To the girl in the Sandwich Bar".I did have an egg sandwich in a sandwich bar on Saturday and spoke to a lovely man..oooohhhh! I've still got it!

Back to business..here is my card..

Lots of Love Alex xxxxxxxxxxx
