Less is More

That's it, I have just packed all of my craft stuff away and can now see my dining table lol.  I am not going away until Wednesday, but have got a lot to do in the house before I can go away, so I had to pack up today. 

I have two cards to share today and they are both for this week's Less is More Challenge - Take Three Challenges.

Week2 - A Flower or a Tree;  Week 6 - Off The Edge;  Week 54 - Stripes. Stamped with Big n Juicy Hydrangea, the border is from a Dimension Fourth Art Deco stamp set, my favourite Agapanthus from Stampendous and as usual I have no idea about the sentiment stamp.

Wee12- Off Centre;  Week 34 - Sketch; Week 35  - Colour of your Eyes. The image is a free cover stamp from Craft Stamper, the sentiment is Papermania, all stamped with Momento Rich Cocoa, the brown matting is from my scrap box

The first card was a second card I made for the Stripes challenge but never got around to posting it.
As for the other 5 challenges that I have used, these were challenges I missed whilst on holiday.

I hope you like my cards and many thanks for visiting and for any comments you might wish to make.

I'm still here

Good evening everyone.  I am still here but have been busy doing other things and not had much time to blog new cards.  I have to get all of my April cards sorted because I am away next week until the middle of the month.  This is one that is needed for the 2nd of April, and it fits  Rainbow Lady's Challenge - House and Home.  The image is from Joanna Sheen's Nostalgia cd, the backing paper is Nitwits, the embossed strip is from my offcuts box and the sentiment is computer generated

Thanks so much for stopping by

Pansies

Good Morning, my card to share today is the one I gave to my Mum for Mother's Day.  The image is decoupaged and from the La Pashe CD, The Big One and is in the Labled With Love Section, the prints are designed to work with some of the Spellbinders Label Sets.  The backing paper is Cuddly Buddly, the flowers, gems and offset card all come from my stash, the corners were cut with a Cuttlebug die, and the sentiment was computer generated.  I am entering my card into this weeks CD Sunday Challenge - Spots and Dots.  The pattern on the backing paper is made up with lots of individual dots, but they don't show up very well.

Thank you so much for your visit today, and many thanks for any comments you may wish to make.  I love to read them

Less is More

Good Afternoon, it's horrible here today, torrential rain and the wind is picking up as well, just the sort of day to stay in and craft.  Trouble is the lighting is atrocious for taking photos in, even Picassa hasn't been able to improve this pic today.

My card to share today is for this week's Less is More Challenge, Week 50 - Masking.  My images are all from an unmounted plate by Chocolate Baroque, coloured with Promarkers and matted onto a scrap of dark brown card from my offcuts basket.  The sentiment is from a clear set and, as usual, I don't know who the manufacturer is.

Many thanks for stopping by today.

A Bit O' Blarney

Good Morning all, my card for today is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge - St Patrick's Day.  As I have no need of a St Patrick's or even Irish Themed card I played with Serif Craft Artist yesterday and made this digital piece.
I started by turning a Nitwits Kit - A Bit O' Blarney and turned it into a scrapbook kit and this is the basis of my piece.  I used some of the various filters in the programme  to make it look a bit more 'real'.

 I hope you like it and many thanks for visiting today.  Please leave me a comment as I would love to know what you think of this piece

Where Have All The Years Gone!

Good Afternoon, it's a beautiful sunny day here in the Northern Isles and it's quite warm too.  My card to share today is the one I made for my eldest daughters 40th birthday today.  The image is from a Kanban Set - jasper and coloured with promarkers, the backing paper is a pale yellow polka dot that I have inked with Dried Marigold DI then overstamped with small images from the same stamp set.  The yellow cardstock came from my stash and did the flower and ribbon.  The sentiment is computer generated and the number is a Cuttlebug Alphabet.

I followed Sketch No 82  from Sketch and Stash, the new element is the stamps and neglected is the backing paper, I have had it for ages. I am also entering my card into this week's Make it Monday


I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting today
