NEWSPAPER TO THE READY

Happy Saturday all and I'm so pleased you've stopped by.

It's time for another challenge at Less is More
and it's recipe week - so please use some NEWSPRINT on your cards

Here's my offerings


Having picked up an old and yellowing book in the charity shop,
then carried out the sinful act of tearing a page out and die cutting
with 2 Clearly Besotted Standalone Butterfly dies!!!
These were aged even more with a sponge daubing of Memento brown ink

Aside from the heart-shaped button and twine from my stash it's a
Clearly Besotted collection of additional stamps:
Fancy Flourishes, Building Blocks & Simply Quilled



Another Christmas opportunity ... whoopie!
This time my newsprint is in the form of printed vellum
with a Christmas song - I picked this up years ago from 
The Papermill Shop before it became an 'online' only store.
I've heat embossed, in WOW Sparkling Silver EP, an image from the
 newly released Clearly Besotted - Joy to the World set
then re-embossed with cranberry EP for the berries & ribbon.
The sentiment is from the same set and it's mounted on 
die-cut panels from Mama Elephant Index Card set, 
with the rear one being silver vellum ...

... as the current theme at Addicted to CAS is vellum  
I'm heading across there to link up my card to the challenge.

... also over at Addicted to Stamps the theme is
'Holiday' so I'll be heading there too with this card

GRAB OUR BADGE!

Thanks for all the fabulous 'mini creature' cards;
some were terrifying and some utterly adorable and cute!

So let's see what you make of this week's challenge.
Have a fun and crafty weekend.

  4. I spotted your butterfly card first thing over at LIM, then my computer refused to let me type for some obscure reason. Anyway here now. Love the butterfly card as well as the wreath card, especially the vellum panel. Thanks so much for sharing with us at ATSM this week. :)

  5. Absolutely stunning, Sarah. I'm in love with both of these, they both ooze so much elegance. Considering we are both CBS addicts, you have lots of the sets still on my wishlist! I feel another order coming along...just need to find some storage space lol! I'm not a reader so have just asked my BF very nicely if I can steal one of his old books, fingers crossed he'll want to part with one of them ;) xx
