Less is More # 432

 Hello there,

It's Saturday once again and time for a new challenge at Less is More 

and this time it's a colour challenge.

 

As it's getting nearer to 'that' time of year these colours are perfect for making some last minute Chritmas cards although they're also useful for any other occasion.

I couldn't decide which of the two to choose so I did one of each,

A nice simple card to start.

I smooshed a scrap of card ( I keep all my offcuts for things like this) in Broken China and Tumbled Glass DI before cutting it out with a deckled edge rectangle die from Caroles Crafts
 I mounted the panel with foam pads and added the trees cut with a die from Amazon in silver mirri card.

The sentiment is from Mamma Elephant stamped onto a long strip of card which fits right across the card front.

For my next card I used a scrap of patterned paper in neutral colours cut with a square die (Spellbinders)

I made the frame from a piece of gold mirri card and two square dies, one slightly smaller than the other to give a thinner frame ( Die-namics & Spellbinders)

The Poinsettia die is from Amazon, cut from dark red card and finished with the stamen from a flower that had seen better days.

Sentiment stamp from Avery Elle

CaS Christmas Trees

Hello there,

My mojo has been missing in action for a couple of weeks so I've struggled to make anything worth blogging but in the last couple of days it has suddenly reappeared so I'm making the most of it while it lasts.

It's a new challenge at CAS Christmas and this month it's Christmas tree

So, a nice easy one.

I started by smooshing a piece of card with Distress inks in Broken China and Tumbled Glass with a tiny bit of Steel Blue InkaGold before cutting it out with a stitched circle die.
I made a circular frame using the two smaller dies and a piece of embossed silver card.
The tree is from Amazon cut from some pale green glitter card.
I thought this sentiment from Mamma Elephant was perfect for this card.

I enjoyed making this and I actually quite like it, I might make some more in different colourways, December will be on us very soon
