Autumn leaves card

Hi friends, it's looking and feeling a lot like Autumn now here. Brrr the heating had to go on last night and  for a while this morning too.     I am posting another 'Less is More' card once again. It's a colour theme and.....      

"For our Colour challenge this month we have chosen 

Autumn's Bounty

Sounds kinda poetic doesn't it...

so we'd love to see autumnal shades in your cards."

This is what I came up with, not my usual colours,

but I am quite liking these for a change.Pop on over

and look at all the other cards over at 'LIM' too. There

 are some real beauties, so lovely to see all the autumn

 colours and leaves too.

ps. So busy yesterday with family birthday celebrations,

our son's 40th this time! The third one this year in our

 family. As usual they all came to us so I am still
 recovering!

The parties have become more frenetic lately, serving/
moving food around two crazy running toddlers and a
 crawling baby arghhh!

Phew that's the last party until Xmas, so I hope for a

bit of relaxation and card making now ;)

I will show you the teeshirts I designed for hubby in

 another post as it will be very photo heavy as you 

can imagine. He was very pleased with them I am

 glad to say! Enjoy your week everyone ;)

Orange and Yellow Happy Birthday card

Good morning friends/bloggers, it's a sunny day here for a change although a very windy one.      So much rain day after day, no end in sight either.  I  really feel for all those who have been badly  affected  by all the flooding.Stay safe everyone !       Saturday is here again so it's time for another 'Less is More' card of course. This week  it's ..........

'ONE LAYER' & 'Anything Goes'


I was awake quite early and before I knew it, even before I had got dressed I came up with this idea.      OH then dragged me away for our usual walk in the woods before I could take a photo or upload it....so annoying!!!! I did get dressed first  ......incase you were wondering lol.     Oh my this is turning into a long post  now.... sorry ! I know you all probably have little time and like me just want to see the card and items used and not listen to waffling. I will try and be brief now!      

 


I 'splodged' some TH distress ink  'Ripe Persimmon' and 'Sqeezed Lemonade' onto my card.     Then I added a Lavinia stamp, embossing in Wow   'White Pearl' and also in Momento 'Tuxedo Black'.      A 'Hobby Art'  sentiment  and a couple of embossed  lines  completed the card. Now starting another card, will post it soon. Have a lovely weekend whatever  you have planned.

ps. For those watching my battle with losing weight, you will see I am down another 2lbs ....onwards and downwards! Loving this 5.2 diet.

Gerbera card

Quick post again, here is a card I made for my lovely daughter-in -law for her birthday.I am so blessed with such lovely sweet natured daughter -in -laws !!! I used a gerbera stamp for the flowers as it's one of her  favourite flowers. Have a nice day everyone ! Also a big welcome to all my latest followers, welcome aboard :)  

 

Poppies card

Hi everyone, another beautiful sunny day again here. I have another 'Less is More' card to show you today. This week the challenge is a....... Colour Challenge  "This month we would like you to choose TWO opposite  colours from this Colour Wheel" This time I decided to use orange and blue. The blue looked a lot more like turquoise when I took  the photo. So I had to do a bit of altering in PSP to get it to show  the right colour.I always have trouble with my reds looking  pink too for some reason! I used some distress ink again  and also another of my latest stamps ( Memory Box  Luminous Poppies). I stamped , coloured  and cut the  flowers out to add behind the little frame. A tiny butterfly completed the card, come and have a closer look........... ps. Had trouble with my cold/ virus /Asthma/breathing today. I  just couldn't breathe properly at all and OH was most  worried I might pass out lol.Called 111 and they said  to call an ambulance....oh my! I managed to wait until our surgery  opened and the Dr gave me steroids. Now breathing again I am glad to report lol. pps. a big welcome to my latest follower too, welcome aboard!

Lilies card

Here is another DT card using a beautiful 'lilies' digi image
 from  the very talented  Beccy again  .Such an easy image
 to colour too. I just adore flower images as you probably
 know already lol. She has another two new flower ones I will
 be posting a pic of in the next few days.Anyway this lovely
 image is available over at 'Beccy's Place'. Check out her
 other super digi images and her freebies too.
The lilies card was made using my nesties ( curved rectangles),
I made a label by cutting both ends with the same nesties. Image
coloured with Copics/Promarkers and  coloured pencils.
Punched butterfly,gems & ribbon from stash.I used an ivory
pearlized card base for a change  this time. The sentiment was
 stamped btw. using '( Jane's script) clear stamp.
I have just made two super quick cards with one of Beccy's new
freebies,.......I will be posting pics soon.Great for male or females
which is always a plus in my book !

We are baby sitting grandson number two ( Alex) tomorrow
 while his parents attend a wedding, can't wait :)
