Less is More #247


Morning friends it's that time and yet again another
week has zipped by in a flash with hardly any crafting achieved.
Hubby kindly put some new shelves up in my craft room so I've
been trying to sort my stash and organise it better this week!

So it's sketch time over at Less is More, fairly straightforward
when first looking at it but still had me scratching my head!

Anyway here's my first card followed by the sketch ...


I started out by die-cutting the smallest snowflake die from 
the Uniko Studio Snowflake trio dies then adhered them to my 
card base. Using MFT Die-namics fishtail flags I've die-cut a 
narrow flag, with a die-cut 'happy' word die from Hero Art and a 
'Christmas' sentiment from Uniko: Simply Said Christmas.
It looked a bit bland for the festive season so I added mini gems 
for a bit of Christmas cheer and sparkle!

Here's the sketch and I've a few more examples below




Christmas again, this time using Clearly Besotted: Rockin Robin stamps,
it's basically a one layer card but decided to add the red off-set panel
for added interest along with some wink of stella and glossy accents.


... and these next two feature a negative and positive of the same panel.
Both use Uniko Studio: Pure Florals - Cosmos heat embossed
in WOW metallic pale gold. The first one uses a die-cut 'you' sentiment 
from WPlus 9 and 'Thank' sentiment from Clearly Besotted: Simply Quilled.
The 'missing' panel is die-cut using 2 snowdrift border dies from
MFT Die-namics


looking at the 'blank' panel in these photos now on screen it doesn't appear 
to be from the same panel - just shows what a difference a change of day / 
time / backdrop and perhaps exposure can make!


Ok limettes, it's over to you and I can't wait to see how you
are inspired by the sketch! If you'd like to see some more examples
please head across to the Less is More blog HERE where my
teamies have some super impressive designs.

Thanks as always for calling by and I'll be back in an hour with a new 
challenge over at Addicted to CAS so hope to see you then.

  1. Great combination of looks for the sketch this week, Sarah! I love how you have used the positive and negative of that die cut panel with the cosmos - very cool. The robins do make me laugh and I love the white on white snowflakes with just a touch of bling. I don't like sketches but may just have to give this a go :)
