Good morning and welcome to One Layer week at
Less is More. This week our theme is "What's in my Stocking". I will admit that I have struggled with this theme! However, both my cards have used an early Christmas present to myself - which is 'in my stocking' - the MISTI. All I can say is, the hype is true and this is a wonderful tool for one layer cards in particular. I don't think I will ever stamp again without using my MISTI!
My first card uses a Rubber Romance image and sentiment and is coloured with Copics. Of course, it is chocolate that I ewould like to find in my stocking! Coffee is also welcome and chocolate covered coffee beans even better. Men/rich men? No thanks lol! I am finding that my Copics, which are mostly four/five years plus old, are beginning to dry up. Do I replace or do I move to another colouring medium...?
As my sons grew up, the stocking tradition evolved to chocolate and a good book, and my second card uses a lovely Unity Stamp Company image. It came from their May Kit of the Month and has a great sentiment with it; however I have left my card sentiment free. It is coloured with Inktense pencils and I've doodled a border with a Pigma pen.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic and beautiful pair of cards Anne, love them both. The first card's sentiment made me laugh, I totally love rich coffee and chocolate.
ReplyDeleteThe second card is just so sweet, it reminds me of my 17 year old granddaughter, who is a Senior in High School, she is always surrounded by books.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful cards.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.
That's exactly what I want in my stocking! Great card...
