LIM #443 Sketch

Hi crafty friends, I am back to share another card for the 'Less Is More' challenge again. This time it's a sketch, I made this quick card, hope you like it....very simple...but it is LIM ;)
Enjoy your weekend, mostly very grey here, with the odd glimpse of sun today but a lovely day at the beach on Wed and it was very sunny so can't complain really ;)
Thanks for the visit ;)

I made an A6 card , added a rectangle and used DI's to colour it then stamped the tree (Lavinia stamp) and the wording (Altenew). Then I stamped the hearts (Altenew same set) and cut a circle with it and attached it to my card...very simple ;)

Piggy card and a Freebie Calendar

Hi there, just popping in to share my 'Less is More' card. It's a sketch this time (see below my card). I decided I would cut out the two curved shapes to follow the sketch.

Then I needed something pretty or cute popping up from one of the cut outs at the top. I remembered these cute piggy stamps I had bought and not used yet....I know...oh the shame! I added a sentiment ( placed in the middle as it didn't look right at the bottom, sorry) and a few of the flowers which all came with the stamp set and job done.....Happy Days!

Also adding a new calendar for 2018 I made for myself so sharing with you all too ;)

  Smooth White card Darice E/F Lawn Fawn stitched circle die AltENew Doodle Blooms stamps Die-Namics cross stitch rectangle dies Copics and Promarkers AltENew Carribean Sky ink    

  I embossed the rectangle piece of card, having first inked the E/F. I then used the stitched  die on the edge. I stamped the flowers and leaves and coloured them then fussy cut them out. I  cut the circle using the die and then added the  flowers and leaves.   

  This is the sketch below we would like you to use. You have until the 25th April to enter our challenge.

I made my card base, then cut a strip of card and  embossed it  (using the negative side). I also dabbed  my green ink on the embossing folder before running it through my Happy Cuts machine.   Then I stamped my flower , leaving a bit  'over the edge' I cut it using my stitched circle die.  I coloured my flower and added it to the strip  of card.  A touch of Glamour dust and it  was complete.

Here is our Sketch

This is our cue card below which we would also  love to see on your blog if you are entering  our challenge.  

                                     

Merry Christmas card

Good afternoon friends, I hope you are all well. It's rather dark and raining here, I want Summer back!!!     As Saturday has whizzed around once again  I have another 'Less is More' card to share  today.     So thrilled to be showcased over at LIM this week with my Autumn card.

Pink flowers card

Hi everyone, can't believe it's Saturday yet again ! I have another 'Less is More' card to share with  you.        It's a sketch this time, I will add it below  my card. Otherwise as we all know (well most of  us anyway) the sketch and not my card  will show up in your feed.         After two failed attempts grrrr, this is what I  came up with. Ahem...and yes back to my fav pink colour yet again I fear!       I heat embossed the images in white at first but  they looked too pale. So I used the TH ink below for  a deeper colour. ps. If you want a peek at me and the 'Forest Fest'  photo's see previous post!       We are in court next week to see our burglar, hope he is found guilty.......not holding my breath though!

Waves card

Good afternoon bloggers/friends ! I have yet another  'Less is More' card to show you today. Can you tell I  am loving this sketch ( see pic below) lol.I am using  TH distress inks again. I used an Adirondack dauber  in Pearl ( metallics)  to add some silvery highlights to the  'surf'.It looks very shiny and silvery irl. I added  my usual  hand drawn birds again ( becoming a habit now that). I wondered about adding some 'sand' to this scene but  instead imagine you are in  a boat and seeing the waves crash around you and seeing the skyline too :) Oooh is  anyone else quite worried by that image now??....pass the  life jackets lol ! Feeling a bit better today I am glad  to report,thankyou for all your good wishes.Have a  lovely 'rest of the week' too :) ps. A big welcome to my latest follower also, welcome aboard.

Bride card

Good morning friends, what terrible weather we have here  today. Much colder brrrrr and lots of rain and hail too, think  I will  hibernate for the rest of the winter now. I managed to sleep  better last night without the constant coughing so am hoping my cold is on it's way out now.Keep warm and germ free everyone. Onto my card, here is another 'Less is More' offering, it's a sketch  this time and ........... There is sparkle here too, hard to see though, not easy to take a  photo with all this dark weather today. I used some distress ink and just hints of colour to keep it all soft. ps. A big welcome to yet more followers , thankyou so  much for choosing me to follow.

Yellow flower card

It's week 65 over at 'Less is More' and this time
it's a sketch.
"For this week's sketch we'd like you to keep to the
 proportions of this drawing so that there is considerable
 white space remaining in the finished card."
You may choose either of these
                      SKETCHES.

            

      

I used an 'anjisantics' digi  I have had a while, I altered the shape
to make it more square here. I coloured it with Promarkers & pencil
 crayon, then 3 d'd some of the petals. Another yellow layer was made
 behind the main image too.After adding some glamour dust
& a spot of flower soft in the middle I added a computerized sentiment.
An easy one this week I think, thankyou so much Chrissie & Mandi :)

Had a lovely day babysitting Alex yesterday he was so well behaved
while his parents attended a wedding.
Also my niece gave birth  to a son today at 1.30 am, no name as yet, but
mum and baby both doing well I can report.
My other brother continues to be ill, he has a blood clot on his lungs and they have
also found a growth after doing a 2nd colonoscopy, we await results of a biopsy.
So happy and sad news today, isn't that always the case though !
