This week's Less is More Challenge is to make your CAS card based on this simple sketch. My first card uses the Stampin' Up Build a Bird punch. I've coloured my kraft card birds with a bit of Distress Ink and given them a pop hole. The sentiment is from Joanna Sheen. I can't decide whether this is a young bird being fed in the nest or a lovely-dovey pair of birds, could be either...Second card is cut with my Portrait,uses soft pastel shades and a Stampin' Up sentiment.
I'm entering a few challenges with my cards:
Just a Note:
Get Inky - die cuts
Simon Says - clean and simple
Sisterhood of Crafters - things with wings
Butterfly Birthday
Scrappers Delight - pretty pastels
Simon Says - clean and simple
Stempelgarten - pastel colours mix
Love those cute birds! super inspiration cards
ReplyDeleteBoth great cards Anne but the bird one is definitely close to my heart! I currently have blue tits nesting in a bird box on the side of my house and am highly entertained with their antics on our bird cam - might have to make a similar card to celebrate the arrival of he chicks when they eventually hatch. Great use of the sketch.
ReplyDeleteYour bird card is adorable!!

ReplyDeleteYou and your Portrait have been really busy! It's about time I used mine again for something or other!
