Less is More #448

 Hello there,

 

 

Time for a brand new challenge at Less is More and this time it's a lovely one.

It's Teamie  Elaine's birthday this month so she has chosen a gorgeous card for us to case.

You have lots of choices with this card. There's the rose's, the colour and/or the tiling. Or you can put you're own interpretation on it. We can't wait to see your creations.

I chose to use this stamp, Zinnia's from Flourishes for my CASE, mainly because of the variety of oranges and golds they come in.

I stamped the image twice and coloured each flower separately making sure I got the right colour on the right flower. Once coloured I cut the base one with a stitched square die and adhered it to my card.

I cut a rectangle from the second image and carefully placed it over the first so that all the petals met.

The sentiment is a stamp from Visible Image.

I kept it to the one 'tile' and concentrated on the colours for my card but check out the other DT on the Less is More blog for some fabulous inspiration.

Less is More #447 Christmas in July

 Hello there

We have a fabulous new challlenge at Less is More and this time it's

It's never too early to make a start on your Christmas cards and we hope this challenge will give you some inspiration to get your stash off to a good start.

 

 

I've been looking for a good sized Poinsettia stamp for a while and luckily managed to find this one from Colorado Craft Company while browsing Seven Hills Crafts store a few weeks ago. It's two flower stamps and greetings so the choice for card design and size is great. I think I'll be using this stamp set a lot this year.

I stamped and embossed the Poinsettias in gold EP and coloured with Promarkers. The photo looks as if one side is darker but irl they are the same, honest.

The greeting is from the same set.

We can't wait to see your designs for this challenge.

Thanks for popping in x
