Three's not a crowd

Hello.

The challenge this week from the Less is More team is a recipe to include three of something on your card.

 

Sorry about the dreadful quality of the photo, I had to use my iPhone.

 

I have three 's's in my greeting, three colours and three metal studs on the right hand side.  The letters are layered with the same three colours.  IRL they are very dark blue, turquoise and white, which someof you might recognise as the Spurs colours.  This card is for a colleague at work.

 

Enjoy your day.

 

Spring Flowers

Hello, happy Thursday.

I have managed to use some more of my recent purchases to make a one layer spring card for the Less is More challenge this week.

I used some new Card-io Majestix stamps, which individually are tiny but together make up a pleasing effect.  I just loved these funky solid and outline matching flowers.  I found an Art Impressions watering can to support the flowers.

Confession time - it was a square card but my doodles went a bit weird so I trimmed the card.  Now I have to find or make a suitable envelope :-)

Enjoy the rest of your week.

New flowers

Happy Monday everyone

In contrast to the grey dizzle we have today, I've made a cheerful yellow and green card for the challenge at Less is More.

I've used a new die from Heartfelt Creations called Delicate Asters (NBUS as Darnell would say) that I bought at the Make It show at Farnborough on Friday.

The flowers look speckly, but that's the glitter glue.  I embossed the circle with a large nestie die and cut a Memory Box leaf spray.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Claret and Blue - what else??

Hello, happy Friday.

The Less is More challenge this week is to make a masculine card.

I don't tend to make many cards for men, but I do make most of the ones I give to my husband, because he has to be nice about them.  He's a West Ham supporter and for those of you who don't know, their colours are claret and blue.  Which does give me a good colour scheme to work with.

Thank you Ardyth for the inspiration.

All I have to do now is save it until his birthday next January, what are the chances of me finding it again??

Enjoy your weekend.

One layer

Hello, happy Sunday to you all.

The lovely ladies over at Less is More have given us carte blanche for our one layer card this week.

I've kind of followed the sketch from a couple of weeks ago as well.

I stamped the main flower first then stamped the border flowers and masked the edges and sponged it.  I probably could have stamped the main flower last actually, but never mind.  A few diamonds and a greeting and I'm done.

Hope you enjoy your week.

I can sing a rainbow

Hello

Sorry, did I wake you?  I know I haven't been here in forever.  Life's been very busy lately and I just got out of the habit of blogging, but I'm back now and hope to be here more often.

One of my earliest childhood memories is of my mum singing the rainbow song to me, even though it has all the wrong colours.  Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue.  So if I do want to design a rainbow, I have to resort to that old school chestnut, Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain.  Why do these mnemonics work for us?  I can still remember the one for the planets (in the days when Pluto was a planet as well as a dog) Since Mount Vesuvius Erupted Many Jolly Scientists Usually Never Panic.

Anyway, I digress.  I made two very similar cards for this week's birthday celebratory challenge at Less is More (Happy 3rd Birthday LIM).

You can't really tell but the greeting is gold mirror card.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

White Christmas

Happy Friday.  I hope you've had a good week.

The Less is More challenge this week is white on white but also it needs to be a Christmas card.  This ought be fairly easy so why was I struggling to come up with a design?  That's why I've left it until now to enter, hoping inspiration would strike.  This is the best I could do, both in terms of the card design and the photography at 4pm on a drab day like today.

I die cut the tree then attached it to the same place inside the card, just for variety.  Added glitter, which as we all know, never comes out well in a photo.  This is the tree on the inside of the card, also glittered, subtly and with taste, of course.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend.  Bye.
