Less is More # 488

 Hello there,

It's time for another great challenge at Less is More and this time the theme is Under the Sea.

We are really looking forward to seeing your creations.

Apologies for the rotten photograph, I just couldn't find a place with good light.

I began this card by rummaging about once again in my inky bit box. I had been playing around with some alcohol inks and this was the result, it reminded me of water.

I cut a rectangle of the paper with a die and then made a frame for it using 2 dies.

The sea horse and shell are unbranded and cut from snippets of smooshed card.

I used the circles die and white card to represent bubbles and placed them behind the frame.

I finished off with a scattering of Mother of Pearl sequins.

The sentiment is by Avery Elle stamped in Versamark Onyx

Birthday Card

 Hello there,

I'm popping in today to share a card I made for my amazing mum in law who was 98 last Saturday. The care home she lives in had a summer fayre on the same day so it was made into a bit of a party for her. 

I used part of an Alexandra Renke stencil and some Nuvo embellishing mousse in pale green for the background.

The butterflies are made with a Memory Box die and 3 colours of tissue paper. I folded the tissue paper so ther were 4 layers and cut two of each colour making each one 8 layers thick. After sticking each layer together I fanned out the wings to look as if they're in flight.

The sentiment is PC generated.

Less is More # 487

 

Hello there,

We have a lovely new challenge for you at Less is More this fortnight. It's Alphabet time and we are using the letter B for Beach.

I made a very quick and simple card for my post,

I started with a 5cmx 5cm card base. I made a mask by using a circle die to make an aperture. I used a post it note across the middle of the circle and used Versa colour, sand beige ink for the beach. I then reversed the post it note and used sky blue for sea/sky.

I used a stamp by Inkadinkado and Versamark black ink

The word die is by Penny Black and I used a snippet of cream card.

Please check out the blog and enjoy the inspiration from the rest of the DT.
