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.

The Time Traveller's Wife

Hi Folks, my share today isn't a card - I've jumped out of my comfort zone and had a play with a tag for DragonsDream TIO Challenge - Time, from the book The Time Traveller's Wife.  The card I have used to make the tag is from a play session I had the other day with Distress Stains, as shown in this month's Craft Stamper.  The clock image is the cover free stamp from an earlier copy of the magazine, the sentiment is from Clarity the flowers and gem are from my stash and the little parcel is an offcut from the original bit of card.  I coloured the ribbon to match.

Thanks for taking the time to visit me today, I am really not sure about this piece as I am very new to inking techniques and am never quite sure if I have pulled it off or not.  Sorry about the pic but my camera and computer don't want to talk to each other, think I need a new cable, so have used my phone to take this one.

A second post

Back again.  I don't usually post twice in one day, but I had a bit of a play just now and had a go at a tag for Dragon's Dream TIO which this week is Let's Face It.  I used a Craft Stamper freebe stamp with an archival black inkpad and  masked it, then over stamped with a script stamp - think it's an Aspects of Design one.  Before removing the mask I used one of my Judikins colour dusters and Brushed Corduroy DI to colour the tag, then a couple of Promarkers to colour the face and what looks like a hair band.  I rooted around in my ribbon bag to find something to match the hairband and found these three bits of red fibre to finish off my creation.   Hope you like it cos this really isn't my comfort zone, usually everything I try like this ends up a complete mess.  Must admit though, that I think this went quite well.
