Teal Hello card

Hi there, the sun is shining here today and it's feeling very 'Spring' like at long last! Just popping by with a card for this week's  'Less is More' challenge which is a colour one and 'Maily Teal'     Here's my take on it, enjoy your week whatever you have planned. Our son has exchanged  contracts at long last (5 months) and moves  house very soon. Hallelujah!     A big welcome to my latest follower Petra. Thanks for choosing me to follow  and welcome  aboard ;)

You're Amazing

Good afternoon friends, here I am again to show you a card I have made for this week's 'Less is More' challenge. This time it's a recipe and....     'Acetate or Vellum'     This is what I came up with, I seem to be in a green mood today ;) Not often I make green cards! I chose a very pale shade too so I hope you can see my card  clearly enough.     Enjoy your weekend whatever you have  planned ;)

ps. Our son has bought another house, (and it's fabulous)....... hoping this one goes through this time now! Ooh and our flat roof is all finished after 2 whole weeks also...rain stopped  play for a while....a long while! 

I used vellum on the small panel with the sentiment on.

Flourish card

Good afternoon friends, I have another 'Less is More' card to share with you today.     It's 'one layer' card week and the theme   is .....     Flourish     I decided to make the flourish the main focal point. The card is an ombre one, shaded softly in pink at the bottom. So hard to see in this light though, hate  these grey days.     I used an old stamp I have had for a  while now. I used some distress ink and my  waterpen to add some soft watercolour.       I thought texture would be  good too. I used glue and some frantage. I didn't heat emboss as I wanted to  keep the texture. Odd I know but it seemed to work!     I also used some Diamond dust and  glamour dust also. I made the card a small one 4"x 4 1/2", again to keep the main image prominent.       Enjoy your weekend whatever you have  planned. I have new craft goodies just  arrived today so I plan to be mostly  making cards  I think ;)       ps. Still trying to get my photographs the  right size grrr! I have to use 'large' as Extra large is too wide for my blog. I am  experimenting using pixel size instead and then original size. (No that was too large)       If you click on the photo you can see it larger too. I really want them portrait and not landscape but as I use a tripod I have to crop instead.     What size do you all use to post your  photographs? maybe I will redo my blog layout, watch this space lol.       UPDATE!  Think I have sorted it now, altered a lot of things on my blog to make it simpler. Removed and moved things too, hope you all approve ;)      

 

   

Hope this is a bit easier to see the sparkle.

White Flourish card

Hi everyone, just popping by to share another 'Less is More' card again. It's a colour theme and 'Jewel Colours' this week.     This is my second attempt, I went with stamping, heat embossing and then  distress inking. I then added my latest  die...... such a pretty flourish I think.      Sorry if you now want it too. That's  how I end up with most of mine lol !!


Anyway come and have a closer peek ;)

Wonderful day card

Hi everyone, just a quick post to show you another 'Less is More' card. This week it's......     'One Layer' & 'Anything Goes'     Yes I know it's YET another pink one, what can I say. I seem to be drawn to making pink ones! (btw. see new pic of my cutie granddaughter.... wearing pink of course lol).        I know you will understand Christine he he ;)        

      I used an Inkadinkado flourish stamp and a Hobby Art sentiment. I sponged with Momento  'Angel Pink'  ink and coloured the flowers/leaves  using Promarkers.        A couple of embossed lines completed the card. I decided to add a few pen line squiggles as an afterthought......as you do. Hmm which do you  like best?        

      ps. I am still dabbling with making digi pages, this is  my latest effort.         Trying a bit of 'OOB'ing, ( Out of boundaries), took bloomin' ages and I may just be addicted now too...oh my!        

      Btw. I will be adding some  sentiments etc. I made soon. Thought I may as well share as I know I like a nice  freebie too :)        If they are liked I will do it on a regular basis maybe, let me know if you want them !

Hope you like the card, I will have a morecolourful card for your delictation very soon with a  French theme too :) 

Less is More flourish card

It's week 74 over at 'Less is More' & this weekit's a lucky dip and......

For our challenge we have decided to take our 

"Less is More"  

header as the inspiration for this challenge.

I thought and thought what to do this week, not an easy 

one I fear this time. Anyway inspiration dawned today at last and I

 decided to use the wording part. I added a flourish,a little music,

clear gems & a hanging heart with M&C added for Chrissie

 & Mandi.I used some pink TH distress ink ( I know Mandi will

 approve :) and some glamour dust for sparkle too ( on the

 large L & M). I have learnt so much from them doing these

 challenges, thankyou so much.Also to all the lovely LIMettes

 who have inspired me also and been such great friends too,

 I love you all :)
ps. Ahem....and yes back to pink again lol !
