Less is More- 3 squares

This week over at Less is More the theme is 3 squares. I have chosen to do a watercolour. I have used Jenny Mayes stamps to fill my squares. I have to say my photo skills are lacking again. I don't seem to beable to get a good picture of my sky. It looks much better in real life. I chose to do a DL card. Looking at my finished card I don't know if this really counts as a Less is more card.

Less is More -spring

Over at Less is More this week the theme is Spring. I decided  to use a stamp this week that I've not used before. It was from a grab bag at Graphicus. I've made a scrapling card, my first every one. I think I'll be making more of these.  The technique is also new to me, using brushmarkers. I have had them years and don't think I have every used them like this. Just colouring the stamp in with them. The sentiment is also a Graphicus stamp. I've just left it plain and simple. Sorry my photographic skills don't show this at it's best.

Bah humbug altered Cd

This week at Bah Humbug the challenge is to alter a Cd. I decided to make a card for my other half for Christmas. I covered my card with the green spot bp then stuck a piece of torn vellum down the left side. I coloured my cd with  Adirondack Butterscotch and Pesto Alcohol inks and pale gold leafing pen. I stamped branches on the top right of my cd with green Stazon . As I thought they would reflect into my shiny  Bauble  if it was hung onto a tree.
I then stuck a gold glittered Skelton leaf on top and trimmed the left side off. Stuck a piece of my old Christmas decoration in the middle and one at the bottom right. I added gold peel off to look like chains and ribbon to my decorated bauble.  Off to tidy up now and hope fully get an early night, I have my beautiful grandaughter to play with all day tomorrow.

Less is more - slowly, silently now the moon

I have enjoyed myself tonight, joining in the second weeks challenge at Less is more. You had make a one layer card using a flower or a tree. I have used a stamp I bought a bit back but haven't used until tonight. I stamped the trees in London Fog Memento ink, then I masked them and stamped the moon. Added a little glitter, stamped the verse and added cystals to match. I then embossed around the edge. I didn't think I could make cards like this but I think I'm slowly getting into it. Sorry I think I need to practise my photography. Looks much better in real life. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Bah humbug Dolies

Hi where as this week gone, can't believe it's Friday already. This week at Bah humbug the challenge is to use a dolie. I didn't have any so decided that I would make my own, infact I made three. I used Papermania backing paper and Acetate .The acetate as made the lower part of my card. I then used a Martha Stewart punch and made the 3 dolies . Stamped my image which was a free stamp from Craft Stamper and coloured with promarkers. Cut out and layered my other images from  an old Christmas card , that was it card finished. Hope you like it.

Less is more

Hi everyone, today I have stepped out of my comfort zone to try something different. I have found a new challege blog Less is More. This is the first week and you have to use the colours. White, pink and Black on your card.

You have to have a lot of white space, in my case it is pink space, I stamped my image onto the Pink card and embossed with white embossing powder. I then stamped again onto black card. I used my cuttlebug and cut this out and stuck it over the one on the card to match. I added pink gems, stamped onto my white ribbon and that was it, card finished. I hope you like it.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog. I do appreciate your lovely comments. Hugs x ChrisB
