This week at Less is More Chrissie has designed a fab sketch to inspire us. On Thursday she came up to help me celebrate a milestone birthday and, of course, we got inky. I had two sets of Aquatints Inks arrived and we played with them. The background to my first card is one of the experimental sheets I painted. I have topped it with a panel that has a Memory Box fern cut from it and then I trimmed down the diecut and added it to loosely interpret the sketch. The sentiments are Stampin Up. This card has lots of NBUS going on: the inks, the die cut fern and the diecut panel for the sentiment.My second card uses a favourite stampset, it is a more literal interpretation of the sketch, using washi tape and Avery Elle Storybook stamps and dies. The balloon is cut from a scrap of patterned paper.
I hope your enjoy using the sketch as a starting point for your CAS creation!
Congratulations on your milestone birthday Anne hope you had a great day.... Certainly looks like you had some fun with the new goodies. Great cards again this week. Xx
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Anne. Glad you had fun. Two fab cards xx Jan
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Anne - getting crafty sounds like the perfect way to celebrate! Love that fern die and those Avery Elle Storybook stamps are a favourite for me too :)
ReplyDeleteThese are as great as the day we spent... love them. My Avery Elle set arrived today and I am just about to have a play!
ReplyDeleteYour background worked out really well... I may get inky here soon too!

ReplyDeleteHi Anne, thank you for the lovely comment on my blog - of course you can case my card :) I hope that you had a lovely birthday. Two gorgeous cards - I love the background and fern cut out and the little rabbit is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, your fern card is so elegant, I love the background and how you used the negative space. Love the cute little bunny, that's one of my favourite sets too. My foxes stamp is from a stamp and dies set by Hero Arts. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat alternative take on the challenge with your fern card.
