Less is More #446 Monogram

 Hello there,

Another Saturday has whooshed around and given us a new challenge at Less is More

 

 

 

Here's a couple of definitions. I think we'll be happy to take 2 or more letters, not necessarily intertwined. 

Monogram: a motif of two or more interwoven letters, typically a person's initials, used to identify a personal possession or as a logo

a design consisting of two or more alphabetic letters combined or interlaced, commonly one's initials

 

 I only have this one set of alphabet stamps ( Waltzing Mouse) so a bit limited on design but I do think with the scrolls ( also WM frames set) embossed in gold on the burgundy card it looks quite classy.

We're looking forward to seeing your creations but if you're struggling with this one, the lovely Neil

from the DT mentioned that there are some great online free monogram making sites out there, check them out.

 

Thanks for popping in x

Birthday card

It's my sister in law's birthday this week so I've made another cards using the new Pink Fresh Studio

stamp, this time in bright spring colours.

 

 Stamped and embossed in silver EP and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens, then mounted onto a piece of silver card with a waifer thin border.

I'm entering this card into the current challenge at Inkspirational Challenges

Less is More #445

 Hello there,

It's Saturday and time for a brand new challenge at Less is More

 

 It's colour challenge week and we have beautiful colours for you, Pale Blue and yellow.

I've used a digital image for my card, something I haven't done for a long time. The beauty of digi images is that you can choose the size of your image to suit your design or card base size. There are some beautiful images out there and I've chosen one by Alex Syberia. Alex was one of our sponsors for our birthday celebration month and her designs are stunning.

Really simple card to make.

After deciding where to put my image I adjusted the angle slightly and simply printed directly onto my card.

I used quite a light weight card stock but it's good for colouring onto. I used a mix of Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens.

The leaves were my biggest problem so I coloured those in a pale turquoise

The sentiment is stamped on black card in clear ink and embossed in white EP 

Stamp- Alex Syberia-Avery Elle

 

Please check out the inspiration from the other DT's on the blog.

Emilia's 2nd birthday

 Hello there,

It was Emilia, our youngest grand daughters, birthday last monday. That girl is so blessed. Not only was it a bank holiday so everything could happen on the actual day but the weather was glorious and lots of our restrictions have been lifted so she had lots of friends and family to see her and enjoy her little party.

Alan and I went early morning so we could spend some quality time with her and the family before the madness began so missed most of the fun but we do have photo's.

 

Meely had been at a party a few weeks ago and didn't like the bouncy castle but this time they couldn't keep her off it.

Here is the card I made for her,

She loves having a kick about with her dad. I think he's getting ready to sign her up for Hull City's ladies team so as soon as I saw this digi stamp from Lilli of the Valley I had to have it. Even the hair is like Meely's.

Image is coloured with Spectrum Noir pens

The DP is The Lovely Studio

Scalloped and circle die are Spelbinders

The daisy's are from Amazon and the middles, number and heart are die cut from a scrap piece of card previously sponged with pink Nuvo Embellishment Mousse. It leaves a lovely sheen.

Thanks for popping in, have a lovely weekend.
