"Less is More" Challenge #278 - sketch


This week at "Less is More" we have a fun sketch for your inspiration.  My first card is mostly diecut against a smooshed background.  I've used a SU Botanicals die to divide my card with a Memory Box birdhouse and a Little Clare sentiment. Cute house, isn't it.

I'm entering my card for Simon Says - anything goes

My second cards uses a super stencil that I bought at Portsmouth stamping show last year from Stamp Hut, unfortunately I've lost the packaging, can't remember who makes it.  My Distress Inked creepers were going to other way up, as weed, with a fish swimming through.  But I seem to have a lack of fish stamps so one of those stalwart Crazy Birds stepped in instead. He's Copic coloured then cut out (I don't have the dies to match) and the gold embossed sentiment is Whiff of Joy.

  1. Love them both Anne. Those leaves remind me of a willow tree. Made me giggle re the fishes but great idea!

  2. These are fab. I love the die cut edge against the smooshed background - so effective. And the stencil works perfectly as foliage against the Crazy Bird! How neat is your fussy cutting?! Wow!

  8. Such super inspiration Anne. The vibrancy of the blue against the white on the first card is wonderful. However....I absolutely adore that soft willowy-type stencil on the second card. That one has caught my heart. xx

  9. Two fab cards, Anne. I love the way you used the foliage to create your diagonal. The stencil is Mini Moving Vines by The Crafter's Workshop, I bought it earlier this year at the Sincerely Yours show and used it upside down on my turtle card here http://neetandcrafty.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/clearly-besotted-may-release-cool-dude.html
    Loving that blue shade on your first card too, beautifully vibrant xx
