Baby

Hello everyone, it's been a lovely weekend for gardening and card making here .
Sunny and warm during the day and crisp as evening approaches.

The challenge at http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com.au/  for week 68 is for a themed card, and the theme is Baby or Child! I'm in need of some of both so I've made some baby cards to start with and I'll be back later on in the week with some cards for children.

I think the first and last card fit the LIM criteria but I think the second is my favorite.
The stamps are from Whimsie Doodle. I've placed some paper piecing on each card. I've added a second photo of number 3 so that you can see the small paper strip which is visible behind the border when the card is closed. 

Thanks for looking!

I do appreciate your comments!

Happy Birthday

Hello ...I've just squeezed in with a card for the "Less is "More"challenge this week, where we are asked to create a card with 3 stamps .

  Take a look here: http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com.au/

I've used 2 stamps from Whimsie Doodles (Have Cake) and the sentiment is from papertrey ink (Beautiful Butterflies) 

Thanks for looking.

 I'm just about to take a look at the fabulous cards already in the gallery!

 Such inspiring work!

Sail Away "Less is More"

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I posted....and I've missed some great challenges.The weather is cooling and I should have more time inside in the months to come.

Here is my Yellow card for the "Less is More" Challenge !

I've used yellow distress ink ( Mustard Seed) on cream card and the stamps are from darkroom door. 

I did this yesterday... but I couldn't get the new blogger to work for me. I notice the second photo has a shadow again but now I need to head off to work! Sorry!

Flower pot!

Hello everyone. 

I've been rather slow of late with challenges at Simply Less is More . 

This week (Week 61 Lucky Dip)  Mandi and Chrissie and Jenny have given us a photo as inspiration!

 This is what I came up with! 

I've used a small flower punch and gathered the flowers together to create the "mop top". The centers are Platinum Pearl liquid pearls.
 The striped planter and flowers sit on a silver card. Sadly, I overdid the shadow effect on the planter.

Not much stamping this time I admit, but I'm quite happy with the effect! 

 I'll have time later to visit all the lovely cards in the gallery!

Thanks for looking!

Just a note

I was just a little unhappy with my last card. I felt the script was a little heavy. Here is another attempt. The font on this script is fine and I like it better. I do like the feather and the spot so I thought I should try again.

Script

Hello again, I've been thinking about the challenge and remembered some great stamps that I could use.
This is my second card for "Week 58- one layer card with script" at Simply Less is More.
http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com.au/ 

The first photo is a close up of the feather and the spot and sentiment ( PTI stamps).
 I love the detail in the feather. 

The background stamp is from darkroom door. I've used a metallic ink and it 's quite faint in the right light.

I realised after I stamped that I should have left more white space. 

My husband says it looks good though , so I decided to stick with it!

Thanks for looking!

Thanks

The challenge at Simply Less is More this week is a one layer card with SCRIPT!

I haven't made a card for a while so I decided to have a go.  

My card uses words and score lines on kraft paper. The stamp is from Stampin Up. I've used a gloss pen on the THANKS and the hearts but it doesn't show up in the photo. 

Thanks for looking.!
