Less is More challenge - week 58

Another great challenge this week from Chrissie and Mandi over at Less is More
its One Layer and the subject is Script.
I've used two stamps, one script one if from Hero Arts called Manuscript Background and the lady is a Rubber Stampede stamp and is just called 'Woman in a Hat'.  I stamped the lady first then masked her before popping the script stamp over the top.
The weather here in Somerset is a bit foggy and overcast so an ideal day to spend in the craft room!
Enjoy your Sunday...

Less is More.....week 56

I was pleased to hear that I wasn't the only one who kept small scraps of paper and card!
This week challenge from the ladies over at Less is More is 'Don't Scrap it'.
Not sure where the coloured backing paper scraps came from but the card is S.U. Melon Mambo.  Small scraps of card also used for the S.U. Embossed butterfly Embosslit...sentiment is from SU 'Because I care' set.

Less is More ..week 51

Another great challenge this week from Chrissie and Mandi over at LIM
and this week its 'Cut it Out'.
I cut a square in the centre of my card with a Nestie then added on the top an embossed aperture frame, I then got a piece of pink card and 'framed' the aperture... added a few white daisy flowers and also punched out some white leaves.  The sentiment is from the SU set Punch Bunch...It wasn't easy to photograph as the light isn't good today...


.We are off to see Strictly Come Dancing in Birmingham tomorrow night so really looking forward to that.


You will also see from my side bar that we have another 2 Stampin Up Extravaganza Days booked, one in June and one in November if anyone is interested and would like to join us for a great crafting day please email me to book your place...

Stamped the bird and masked him then stamped the script over the top, added a little bit of colour to the background before colouring in the bird with pencils.

Less is More challenge...Things that Move...

Our challenge this week over at LIM is things that move....gosh what a choice of images to use for this challenge.
Searching through my transport stamps I came this bike image, dont know where it came from as I have had it for a few years!
Firstly I used my Hero Arts 'Screened Solids' stamp and inked it up using fluid chalks, then stamp the bike onto.  It looked a bit lost on the white card so just added some black behind the image to make it stand out.  Sentiment computer generated.
Have two  of our grandchildren with us tomorrow so we might possibly go down to Lyme Regis for a stroll, hence two posts today!

Stamped a butterfly from the Stampin UP set called Touch of Nature onto turquoise card them used bleach to bleach out the colour in certain areas this gives such a pretty effect.

Added a few pearls then mounted the butterfly onto circles using SU punches and the SU scallop one.  Greeting is computer generated...

Less is More...Sketch

Well we've just come back having spent a lovely week on the south coast in glorious sunshine and cant believe how quickly that week has gone.
Another great challenge from Chrissie and Mandi over at Less is More and this week we have a sketch card....  It makes a change for me not to stamp but just loved the colour of this card and managed to find the right Prima flowers to go with it and have just popped a brad in the centre.  I've also used the S.U. square lattice embossing folder.  The font I have used is my favourite it's called Black Chancery.
