It is one layer week at
Less is More and this week our theme is "Home". I had a lot of fun making my cards. First up uses a Cuttlebug embossing border. I stamped a Mama Elephant sentiment and doodled a couple of borders to the base of the card, using a Pigma pen and a watercolour pen. The heats are coloured with the watercolour pen too.
I masked a house from Stampin' Up's Holiday Home set and added a couple more to the 'street' behind. The balloons come from From the Herd and the sentiment is Little Claire. I coloured with Copics, following the lovely, soft colour scheme from
CAS on Sunday's current challenge.
My last card is my nod to all those gorgeous cards out there that use the Tim Holtz Crazy Birds stamps. I don't have this set and I'm trying hard to resist! In the meantime, when Stamp Attic closed recently I bought some fab Lin Brown bird stamps to use instead. I doodled a nest for my bird's home, added a computer generated sentiment (problem secretary font) and watercoloured my card.
Look forward to seeing all the LIMette takes on home this week!
Three fabulous makes, Anne! And well done for doodling, I'm not that brave! :) x
ReplyDeleteFantastic cards Anne and if I'm honest I'm rather jealous of that striking embossing folder on the first one! You have a talent for picking brilliant EFs! Wish list had just got bigger! Haha! Love your colours and ideas. And yes you are very brave with doodling. I think I'd end up putting the first mark on the card and freak out making a terrible mess of the whole card! Enjoy your week. X
ReplyDeleteThanks for this beautiful inspirational cards Anne!
ReplyDeleteThese are such fun cards - love your doodled elements, they add a really quirky touch and the house with the balloons is so clever :) Great inspiration for this week's theme!
