Less is More # 459

 Hello there

I'm back today with our new challenge from Less is More

This can incorporate images, ink etc. but the sentiment or any words must only contain 'Just one Word'

 And don't forget this is a one layer card,

 

  A nice easy challenge which I'm sure will give us a wide variety of designs. We can't wait to see what you come up with.

 I started by stamping the word then masking it before stamping the flower. There was a slight gap in the flower stems so I joined them using a fine liner pen.

I coloured the flowers with Spectrum Noir pens and that's it, nice and simple.

 

Flower stamp is Altenew, Pen sketched flowers

Word stamp is by Avery Elle.

 

Thanks for popping in, please check out the inspiration from the DT on the blog. 

Less is More # 458

 Hello there,

We're back!

Welcome to our first challenge of 2022. 

While we are sad to see Sharon, Anita and Izzy say goodbye to us, we are so pleased that Kylie has stepped up as our leader to keep Less is More going. Thank you Kylie.

We have a DT call this month too so please check the blog for information.

It's also our 11th birthday month which is why we're asking you to celebrate with us with your birthday designs. 

I used some small pieces of card from my snippets box ( I am getting through them, slowly) to make the balloons. All the patterns are The Lovely Studio and I've gone with the brightest colours I could find.

The balloon die is ( I think) from Amazon.

The letter dies are from Yvonnes Crafts

The sentiment stamp is by Flourishes.

I've added some flat back pearls for decoration.

Please check out the challenge blog for more fabulous inspiration and don't forget the DT call.

Thanks for popping in

Another great grandchild

 Hello there,

Our 5th great grandchild, Ivy Rose was born on 1st February weighing in at 4lb 13oz. When did I get old enough for great grandkids?

Naturally I made a card,

 

 I'd been hankering after this coverplate die from Alexandra Renke for ages but they've stopped delivering to the UK. I managed to get my hands on it by having it delivered to a family member in the EU and them bringing it here for me along with a few others ofcourse.

Sadly after all that faffing this is the first time I've used it. Now that I have, I have so many ideas for it. Valentines, weddings, anniversaries, the list is almost endless. Be prepared to get sick to death of seeing it.

I cut the coverplate from linen effect white card. The solid card beneath is baby pink pearlised card.

I cut the tag from an offcut of linen card after printing the sentiment on it, I added one tiny heart cut from the coverplate in baby pink and finished off with a tiny pink gem stone.

Edited...I'm adding this card to the challenges at Addicted to CAS and Inkspirational

 
 

Just to show off a little bit I'll leave you with a pic of Ivy Rose.
