Ink sponged birthday card

 Hello there,

I'm popping with a card I made for my friend and neighbour Vera's birthday.

I've sponged inks onto cards in the past but have it difficult to blend well using the round, flat sponges so decided to try blending brushes. I bought some cheap ones online to try and they're wonderful, so much easier. They're easy to clean afterwards too.

This is what I made,

I used Versacolor Marigold, Orange and Pink.

Once dry I used an embossing folder  (I bought online and has no name )

I stamped the sentiment from Sugar Pea designs in clear ink onto some Vellum and embossed it in white EP.

Once the panel was attached to the card base I finished off with some yellow sequins and yellow & orange flat back pearls.

I'm really pleased with this one so expect some more sponged designs in the near future lol.

Thanks for popping in

Hi there LIMettes,

It's time for the latest challenge at Less is More. It's one layer time again and we want to see just one image on your card, although you can also use a sentiment.

Don't forget one layer means no extra layers or die cuts and lots of clean space.

Please check out the blogs of the DT for some fabulous inspiration and we really look forward to seeing your creations.

I had a good rummage through my stamps for this challenge and found this gorgeous camper van I'd almost forgotten about. I spent a long journey and one night in one once way back when I was about 17. It was the most uncomfortable trip ever but the memory is fond.

Anyway, enough about me.

I stamped and embossed the image in versamark ink and clear EP before colouring with marker pens. 

I hand wrote the license plate with a fine liner pen just for fun. I'm not sure of the makers name for this stamp, I think I might have bought it from Hobbycraft a very long time ago.

As an afterthought I made a mask and sponged some pale yellow ink around the outside of the image.

The sentiment is computer generated.

My second card was really quick and easy.

I stamped this cute little snowperson from Penny Black in Memento black ink.

Coloured with marker pens and finished with little sentiment.

Thanks for popping in and don't forget to check out the inspiration from the rest of the team.

LIM # 466 Masculine

 Hello there,

We have a fab new challenge over at Less is More , one for the men in your lives.

This challenge is very handy for us in the UK particularly as it's Fathers Day on the 19th June. 

With this in mind I chose this super digi stamp from Justinklined (sadly no longer trading) for my card.

Now I know that ladies garden too but those wellies scream bloke to me so this is the card I'm giving to my dad this year.

Although he is 90 now he still likes to potter a bit in the garden as long as it doesn't involve too much bending and no kneeling ha ha

The image is coloured with a mix of marker pens.

The sentiment is PC generated.

We can't wait to see your creations, please pop over to the Less is More blog for some fabulous inspiration from the team.
