ANYONE FOR A BREW!

Morning Blog Buddies and thanks for stopping by.

It's Saturday ... YEAH! 
Which means a new Less is More Challenge
This week it's a 

ONE LAYER CARD 
with the theme: Beverages

I'm sure you'll do great as you always do but to be honest I had very 
little in my stash to play with for this challenge so it was tough




This one is a bit 'sneaky' for a one layer card but I was following the sketch from
 this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge and decided to position my image, 
which is heat embossed in white,
 through the aperture on the Doodlebug DP used for the insert.

As you have no doubt guessed I'm besotted with Clearly Besotted
products and even more so when they are on offer as this one was recently.
It's called Warm Wishes. 

The 'speech bubble' die is from Mama Elephant - Index card set and 
the checker-board stencil is MFT used with Distress inks.
A wrap of grosgrain ribbon and Doodlebug Sprinkles finishes it off.



Next up I've used the same stamp set from Clearly Besotted
but I'm playing along with Colour Q and CASology this time.

                         

Before stamping I started out by running an MFT pierced rectangle die 
through my Big Shot with a texture plate just to get an impression and add
a little interest to the otherwise plain card blank. 

This week's theme at CASology is THREE
so I've got a tower of 3 coffee cups,
3 gems for a bit sparkle
and 3 wrap-rounds of twine 

   



Ok that's all from me and not sure I'll get much crafting done today 
as my parents are here but will be back when I can.

Can't wait to see what you come up with 
Happy Crafting and catch up with you soon.

  1. Your designs with these CBS stamps are just gorgeous and you have incorporated the other challenges perfectly too! Love the stack of cups - so cute! I am a bit stumped on this one as I don't have many drinks based stamps - will have to go and do some exploring :)

  3. Beautiful cards! Your three-card is my absolute favorite... Since I love tea, I like them a lot! Found out I had a lot of stamps with glasses or hot drinks on it.... Enjoy the weekend, Gerrina
