LIM Sketch 25 card

Hi there friends, I am back with another card for the 'Less is More' challenge again today. It's a sketch this time, I pondered a while then thought about doing an ombre background. Then I spied this digipaper I have had for ages now and that was kinda ombre looking so I decided to use that as my background.

I cut my top panel to resemble the sketch and added that then used a sentiment die I have had looking at me for a while now. I am trying not to buy as much craft stuff this year as I have so much unused stuff it's getting embarrassing now. Also we are saving up for a new kitchen so I am trying to be more frugal lol.

I am doing very well as I haven't bought a single craft item yet this year....(it's a record for me to last this long), it may change soon though so watch this space ;) Anyway come and take a closer look at my card. Enjoy your week whatever you have planned too ;)

Purple Hello card

Hi there friends ! I hope you are all doing ok? I am back with my very first card for 'Less is More' in the new year. This time 'LIM' have switched to a two weekly format (very sensible) I think. Also it's another colour challenge and 'Purples'.

I do love the colour purple ;) ........almost as much as I love pink.....and blue. Those are my 'go to' colours as you all probably guessed by now lol!  Ok so here is my card, I used various shades of purple then used my die cuts and a stencil for the background. A touch of my usual sparkle and a few sequins and job done !

Thanks for your visit and of course ......enjoy your week whatever you have planned ;)

Hi there friends, I hope your weekend is going well so far? It's really hot here today 25c but feels even hotter!   I am half way through painting my craft  room (Moonlight White)but too hot to finish it today.   I have 'stuff ' everywhere so how I managed to  make this card without falling over it all  I do not know ;)   Our back conservatory is looking good now we have the new windows in and the roof is being replaced on Monday woo hoo!

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

Washi Tape card

Hi there friends, how are things? I am late this week with my usual 'Less is More' card. The theme is Washi Tape this time. Hmm not  a great fan of that but I do have a few rolls of it.   Been so busy helping our son move house, but they are in now and it's all looking good. Couple of quick pics below of our daughter  and DIL and the kitchen/garden. Messy ones as I took them amid all the chaos of moving  in.    I seem to have developed a cold, my young  granddaughter shared it I think. So not  feeling that great today boo hoo.   Anyway come and see my card and enjoy your week too. I plan on mostly relaxing and  catching up with 'stuff' ;)

Hello Flower card

Another quick card to show you today. Made for the 'Less is More' challenge again. We have  to  to use 3 adjacent colours from the  colour wheel.     I struggled to get the right colour combo again. In the end I was happy with my  choices though. A few card attempts went in  the 'round' file, and my mojo seems to be  missing lately but I did manage to finish this card thank heavens.     Anyway come and have a quick peek ;)

Wilbur

Hi friends, just popping in to show you another card. Wasn't at all sure about posting it but hey ho!     More 'loose' painting again lol, ........meet Wilbur....well he looks like a Wilbur to me anyway.     Just playing around really, I decided he had to have hairy knees and hairy  legs. I kinda made a heart shape on  his chest too.      Not great I know but I will try harder if I do another ;) Enjoy your week everyone...I am mainly cleaning windows, we have soo many large ones arghh!     Also de-limescaling ...(is that even a  word?) bathrooms etc. Well it should be. Making two types of vegetarian pate for Sunday tomorrow. A Vege 'Faux Gras' and an 'Edamame' one....wish me luck ;)       ps. He is purple as I was going to enter  the card for the 'LIM' challenge....then rapidly changed my mind lol !!     Oops I forgot to show you the recent  jewellery I made for my SIL's and myself .....soon...very soon ;)
