70th Birthday card

 

Hello there,

My sister in law has her 70th birthday coming up very soon. I'm not sure she's too happy with the size of the number so I made her a card that I hope she finds amusing.

I'm sure she'll get her own back when it's my turn hee hee.

I used Papermill Direct baby pink pearescent card for the base and the toppers. PMD dark grey card embossed with an old embossing folder (not sure who by)

Memory Box butterfly and numbers 

The wording I did on the printer. Because the card is pearlescent the ink stays wet long enough to sprinkle EP onto. Just remember to use an anti static cloth first and a paler colour than your EP for your font.

Thanks for popping in

Less is More # 478

 Hello there,

It's time for our latest challenge at Less is More and this is our last challenge for this year. We will be back but not until March 2023. Can you wait that long?

Sadly we are also saying goodbye to our wonderful teamie Michelle so we have a DT call along with this challenge. Just put DT after your name with your entry if you'd love a chance to join us.

So, onto our challenge. The title is outdoors which gives you plenty of scope to let your imaginations run riot. We can't wait to see what you come up with.

For my card I've gone with this gorgeous digi stamp from Lili of the Valley called James and the snowman. Well you can only have a snowman outdoors can't you? They tend to disappear and leave a puddle behind if you build one in your kitchen.

I printed the image onto some watercolour card and coloured it with watercolour pencils. I added a sentiment using a font called 'I love glitter'.

To finish off I cut a wavy edge along a post it note and used it as a mask to brush some pale blue chalk 'hills' behind the image. A little bit of white glitter along James hat and that's it.

Enjoy your Christmas and have a super New Year everyone. Best wishes x

Less is More # 477

 Hello there,

We have a fabulous new challenge today at Less is More. 

Select two or more colours from the colour wheel.

I've been playing with the Brushos again. I wanted something blue and orange as that is a colour combination that I love and you're never quite sure what you're going to get with Brushos, or is that just me? Hee hee.

My first atempt was a bit pale and wishy washy but this one I was really pleased with. It reminded me of sunset reflecting on clouds so that's why I cut the birds from black card.

The sentiment is Avery Elle stamped in Versamark black on a banner cut from a Catherine Pooler die.

We're really looking forward to your creations, please check out the main blog for some gorgeous inspiration from the other teamies
