I would like to says a big
CONGRATULATIONS!!! to Chrissie for starting off the Less is More blog with Mandi and for making it the brilliant challenge community it is today. Of course our theme this week had to be Celebrations, which gives lots of scope to make Christmas cards or perhaps cards for another occasion. My first card uses an Acid Drops & What-nots stamp, with computer generated sentiments, coloured with Copics. Inside it says "As do Anne and Sarah of course". We all comment on every entry to the challenge, we love it when you visit us and comment on our cards and we love it when you comment on each other's card. Thank you for all of you for joining us and supporting our challenge.
OK I've finished my Oscars speech now! Second card uses a Clarity stencil that came from my NEC haul, with Distress Inks brushed across it. I intended to cut a panel from it but liked it as it was. So I ended up making a huge (8") card with it so there is still some white space. The sentiment, gold embossed, is also Clarity from the Stamp of the Month Club and I added a few gold sequins.
Next up is a very simple one layer card, using Stampin' Up Endless Wishes for the snowflakes and the sentiment. The ink for the masked rectangle and the snowflakes is Frosted Spruce Distress Ink and I added a few dots of red Stickles to match the sentiment.
My final card CASES a LIMette's card from a few months back, please do let me know if it is you, so I can credit you properly! The sentiment is by Magenta and the legs belong to a Julie Nutting Prima stamp. As the red Stickles was still on my desk, it got added to the shoes.
Over to you, can't wait to see your Celebrations creations!
FAB makes, LOVE the humour on your leggy card!
ReplyDeleteWill be meeting pals at 11:30 so looks like we may be destined to miss a meet - maybe next time? Keep your eyes peeled though - just in case!!!!
