Floral frame card

Hi friends, I am back with another card for this week's 'Less is More' challenge which is   'Use a Frame'   I decided on a Spring floral theme and  remembered  I had this delicate floral border  die. So come and have a peek and see if  you approve.
Enjoy your week whatever your plans are too ;)

Probably not the best idea to stamp on Linen card but I do like the texture. I added some sparkle on the sentiment too.

Pleated Skirt fold card

Good afternoon my lovelies, I hope your Thursday is going well. I am just popping by to show you a card I made yesterday.     I decided to go for something different this  time, so fancy fold it is ! It's called a 'Pleated Skirt fold', new to me anyway.       You are supposed to use double sided paper, .......well I haven't got any so I improvised. I used some lilac card I had printed out a while ago. It has a slight pattern...it may be a PP one?


Then I found this pretty flower paper I had printed out ages ago. I am fairly  certain it's one I made myself a long time ago.     I made so many at one time but seem to  have no time to make them now. Besides I rarely use papers as I mostly make CAS cards as you have probably  noticed lol.

Anyway I made the fold, added a bit of  stamping and a sentiment using a die, to the card base. A bit of pretty matching ribbon, a few gems and job done !

If you want to see the tutorial for the fold, see HERE . Add it to their gallery too  if you make a card. Have a good evening, the weekend is just around the corner  :)

Floral thankyou card

It's week 67 over at 'Less is More' & it's the
dreaded one layer card week again.We have to
                Use three stamps
Hmmm I am not a great fan of one layer cards
& I wasted a lot of card this time trying to make
 a suitable card.However I did come up with this
one after a while, not that happy with it but it will
have to do for now. I have another idea now so
will do that later in the week :)
I used a floral and a bird stamp from a set I have
by Kanban called Peacock as it also has a large
peacock in the set too. The sentiment was a 'Jane's
script' stamp again, I often use that set as I find it
stamps more sharply than others I have in various
 sets of stamps. Saying that it didn't stamp so well
this time in this lavender ( Color Box) ink I used
 grrr! I used some pink ( ink it up) ink and a little
 green Promarker on the leaves over the top to
 stamp the flower trail. I used lavender ( Color Box)
ink on the bird stamp. I coloured the bird using
various Prisma pencils and also shaded the
 flowers with pink pencils too.I cut the card shape
using my nesties (curved rectangles ) btw. Hmmm
still not happy but hope it grows on me.
The sun is shining today, how lovely that is for a
 change,I do hope you all have a lovely weekend.
We are babysitting for our grandson Charlie again

 am I :)
