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

Leaves card

Very quick post today, I made another card for the 'Less is More' challenge. Not only that I fear there may be more to come too lol !
 It's another digi one, ...can't tell you how long  I spent trying to get this to print properly after  messing around making it. All that was printing  was the bright leaf on the right arghh!
After doing a lot of 'masking' for the words  and paler leaves the layers just wouldn't merge. I almost lost the will to live lol... I did work it out in the end though.... hallelujah !!

Anyway here it is, hope you approve ;)     ps. Our son gets the keys to his new house tomorrow yipee!

I LoveYou card

Good morning friends, I hope you are enjoying the first signs of Spring for those in the UK. It's so lovely to see the all the Spring flowers out just now.     We have snowdrops, primroses and daffodils  peeping through in our garden just now. I do love  to see carpets of snowdrops, it fair gladdens the  heart  as they say ;)      I am here to share another card for the  'Less is More' challenge once again. Yes it's the dreaded 'One layer' card lol and the theme is 'Leaves' this time.     I seem to be in a bit of  'blue' phase for making  cards recently lol....well it makes a change from  pink I guess ;) Ooh I see a new package has just been delivered...ooops so much for not buying  yet more craft stuff !!   Come and have a peek at my card and enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned ;) We are busy next week helping our son move house.     Yes it's only taken them 5 months to complete, (oh my!) so many hold ups but at least now they can enjoy their lovely new home. I am going to be sooo jealous of their fabulous kitchen too !      

  White Linen card Penny Black stamp Words of Kindness Creative  Expressions die by Sue Wilson (Finishing Touches-Heart Spray) Hero Arts Soft Sky ink & Mid tone Navy ink Copics Glamour dust  

  I used the die as a stencil, hope the heart shaped  leaves do count as leaves ;) I used this PB sentiment  as it also had a heart. Then I remembered the little white flower pots I just bought for our newly  decorated front sun lounge. So  I used those as  props in the background when I realised they  too have a heart shape cut out. Happy days ;)    Also entering another challenge..... Happy Little Stampers March challenge  CAS -Die-cuts  (hope the die used as a stencil counts)  

   

Leaves Sympathy card

Good morning friends, just popping by to  show you another card I made for the  'Less is More' challenge.     The theme is the 'Kissing Technique' , see my last post for more details. I went for green this time.     I used a leaf stamp and also a tree stamp. I think the tree stamp looks like veins  in the leaves ;)     Enjoy your Sunday ;)      

Sorry bit bright, had to put light on as it was so dark.

Neutral card

Good afternoon friends, well that's Christmas over with for another year! For my first card in 2016 it has to be a 'LIM' one of course ;) It's a colour theme this week and......      NEUTRALS      I came up with this idea, using some Kraft card for a change and also my new leaf die. I used some cream card for the leaves and edged it with some distress ink.        I also used some vellum and stamped some  tiny hearts onto it. I hope you can just see  it peeking through. A couple of hearts,  a sentiment and touch of twine and it was completed. See you again soon , I wish you all the best for 2016 ;)

Autumn Leaves card

Good morning friends, I hope you are all doing ok? A rainy day here again but a  good excuse to enjoy some time in the  craft  room ;)       Here is my 'Less is More' card for this weeks challenge which is a colour one....    
FIRE       "Please try to stick to the colours that can be  seen in fire with any additional shades being  kept to neutral or metallic shades."


This is what I came up with, thinking of Autumn shades too.I am sure I have made a  similar card in the past but hey ho ;)


ps. I am well into making my Xmas cards now, happy days! but a warning to anyone thinking  of making the 'reindeer bags'. Please use edible  glitter in them as it can poison birds and wildlife  if they eat it. See HERE for more info.

Green Feathers and a touch of gold

Good afternoon friends, just popping by to  show you another 'Less is More' card.     I used some distress inks and a few drops  of gold on the feathers.  
I stamped the sentiment and used a touch of gold gilding paste on the edge. The edge looks very golden irl, a tad darker  here though as usual. I pinched the gilding paste from  my OH lol.        He has so many yummy things in his garage/ workshop as he makes a lot of things out of  wood. I may be checking out his other supplies there now ;)

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 ;)
