Less is More #484

 

Morning all!

It's Saturday, it's a new challenge at Less is More and it's a One Layer Card day. What more can you want?

It is a lovely theme for the OLC challenge though, being flowers. Everyone loves flowers don't they?

Just remember to keep it CAS and no extra layers.

I've gone for a really simple design for my card. I used a digi stamp from Alex Syberia Designs, coloured with marker pens.

As always we are really looking forward to seeing your creations in our gallery. Please check out the inspiration posts from the DT too.

Less is More #483

 

Hello there,

It's time for another new challenge on the Less is More blog today and this time we want to see your take on our Spring themed challenge.

Ofcourse I went with flowers. I love these stylised crocus's from Simply Graphic. 

I started by making an embossed frame with a die without a name, sorry. 

I diecut the flowers from watercolour card and painted them with Artway Shimmer watercolour paints.

The sentiment is by Sugar Pea designs, stamped in clear ink and heat embossed in gold EP before being cut out with a banner die from Catherine Pooler.

Please head over to the LIM blog and see what the DT have to share. We look forward to seeing your creations too.

Less is More # 482

 

Hello there,

We have a new catagory on Less is More for you from today, introducing our Alphabet challenge.

We'd love to see your creations featuring Automobiles/Cars

For my card I used this really old stamp from Hero Arts, stamped 3 times using my stamping platform.

I coloured the images with markers in bright fun colours.

Less is More #481 Anything goes

 Hello there,

 We're back with another wonderful challenge for you at Less is More,

It can sometimes be a bit of a risk giving me an open brief like "anything goes but keep it CAS"

I hope I haven't got too carried away.

I think I've managed to leave enough 'Clean Space'

I started with an A4 sheet of mid grey card from Papermill Direct, cut to 15cm square.

I then cut another smaller square with quite a good size border around.

I then used the blank cutting die from Alexandre Renke Arabian Motif die set to cut the shape in the centre of the smaller square.

I used a scrap of dark purple card for the back of the small square.

I used some double sided adhesive sheet on the back of some more grey card and cut out 4 of the top die, stacking them to give it some depth.

Before placing the stack in place I used some gold cord to tie a purple pom pom onto the centre of the motif.

The sentiment is from Sugar Pea designs, stamped in clear ink and embossed in gold EP.

Less is More #480

 Hey Limettes,

It's time for our latest challenge at Less is More

 

 I have two cards to share with you this time,

My first card is a reminder that we all need to relax and unwind sometimes especially in these uncertain times.

I used Pink Fresh Studio's Ocean Breeze ink to sponge a piece of card.

The grass stamp is one I bought from a craft fair years ago and never had a brand name. I stamped it with VersaMark black ink.

The sentiment is PC generated.

My second card is a design I've used before but I've played around with it a bit.

I used the Pink Fresh Studio ink again to stamp some textured stamps from Papertrey Ink, before cutting them out with triangle dies.

I placed the triangles at different angles making sure the leaf die fit correctly.

I used the Memory Box leaf die and some black glitter card.

No sentiment yet because I'm not sure when and who will get it

I think the last time I used this design but using circles instead of triangles, was for a LIM challenge and I won a GD place.

Please check out the blogs of the other teamies for some great inspiration.

Less is More # 479

 

 Hello there,

It's been a while but here we are...WE'RE BACK with the new challenge from Less is More

I can't speak for anyone else but I've missed you all and your fabulous creativity. With that in mind our first challenge of the year is the dreaded One Layer Card but for this one it's anything goes. Just choose any image you want to and enjoy.

I treat myself to some newly released stamps from Lili of the Valley so just had to use one for this card. Isn't that little bunny the cutest?

I coloured the image with a mix of marker pens.

The sentiment is from Trinity Stamps, Simply sentimental-Happy.

We have some very talented new teamies too so don't forget to check out the main challenge blog for some fabulous inspiration.

Thanks for popping in.

Christmas cards 2022 take 3

 Hello there,

The last batch of Christmas cards for this year have been safely delivered.

I'll hold my hands up and admit I stole the idea for this one from the online card store Zazzle. It's very sparkly and easy to make so I went with it. I made quite a few in pale blue, pale pink, red and purple.

The glitter card is from a local £1 store.

The snow flakes are by Joanna Sheen cut from silver mirror card.

The sentiment is by Gina K, stamped and embossed in silver EP.
