Less is More #476 Use a Stencil

 Hello there,

It's time for our latest challenge at Less is More and it's a good one.

 

 

We want you to use a stencil. There are many ways you can use a stencil as I'm sure most of you know. You can ink it, use embossing paste or mousse, sprays or even Brushos. I can't wait to be inspired by your creations. Just remember to keep them clean and simple.

For my first card I used this gorgeous Christmas Tree stencil from Funky Fossil. I used versa colour ink through the stencil in Fresh Green except the star which I used Magnolia. I added a bit of yellow glitter to the star.

The sentiment isAvery Elle's Simple Sentiments

My second card is using this stencil from Alexander Renke and Nuvo Embellishing Mousse.

Sentiment is Mama Elephant Holiday Messages

Looking at it now I think the design might be upside down but it's done now and I still like it.

Please check out the LiM blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the DT. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations.

Less is More # 475

 Hello there LIMettes,

It's time for another challenge at Less is More and it's the dreaded one layer challenge.

So, something a little bit different this time. I have to admit that I cannot draw to save my life so this really was a challenge for me. But then, after some thought I decided to go nice and simple ( I can easily relate to simple :)

A ruler and a good fine liner pen makes all the difference. I know it's not pretty or artistic but it serves it's purpose and I'm quite pleased with it and myself.

I drew the frame first then used a couple of post it notes to mask off one side and the bottom before stamping the flowers.

The flower stamp is one of my oldest and still favourite sets, Gerbera Daisy by Flourishes.

I coloured the flowers with various markers in autumn colours.

The sentiment is also very old and is from Papertrey Inc.

I'm really looking forward to seeing your creations for this challenge and don't forget to chack out the blogs of the other DT's

Thanks for popping in
