Less is More #267

Hello there crafty friends it's that time again ... Saturday morning
and a new challenge is brewing over at Less is More!

Guess what though ... it's that dreaded ONE LAYER week too and our theme is
 'The sentiment takes centre stage' or the main focus of your card. 

My teamies have worked their little socks off so please pay them a visit and 
leave some friendly feedback plus we have a guest designer for this week, Irina
and her card an details are over on the main blog ...

but before you head off here's my cards ...


The focus here is 'Fabulous Friend' sentiment from Uniko: All Occasion Sentiments #3
which is inked in chalk inks then heat-embossed with Hero Arts Clear Sparkle EP.
The flowers are also Uniko: Flower Power #5 and Background Builders Vines.
To finish there's a delicate Homespun Stitched edge from MFT Die-namics along the base.


For this one I received a surprise happy letter from my super duper blog buddy
Sandie of London Days having swooned over some of her fabulous die-cuts
a few weeks ago. So she sent me the negative splatter die-cut which I've used here 
as a stencil with more chalk inks and some silver Encore pigment ink. I'f I'm honest
I'm struggling with what to do with the die-cut now but it's in my stash when I have
a light-bulb moment!!!! The sentiment is from Mama Elephant and I've added some 
sparkly sequins and extra stars from the sentiment set for added interest.


Last but not least I'm a little worried that there's a lack of white space on 
this one but I specifically bought this sweetie set from Avery Elle for this 
challenge and because I couldn't resist the images. Then as luck would have it
I went to a Sincerely Yours craft fair a few weeks ago and came across
Honey Doo Crafts for the first time and couldn't leave without buying this 
sentiment ... not that I keep my jelly and licorice sweeties in the fridge!

The images are coloured using zig clear brush pens and coated with wink 
of stella and glossy accents unless they are matt sweeties like the love hearts!

EDIT: Thanks to Sharon, my fellow LIM teamie for suggesting I link this one up at
CASology where the theme is 'laugh' this week! Now why didn't I think of that!!!




Ok I'm handing over to you talented LIMettes and can't wait to see your creations 
this week. Thanks as always for stopping by and have some one layer fun!

  2. Wowzers Sarah! Such beauties from you this week. Wonderful colour combo on the first card. That splatter is a bit yummy and you used it perfectly behind that sentiment. I (being a bright colour freak) absolutely adore that last card! You might want to enter that one into the CASology cue card Laugh challenge.

  4. Brilliant cards, Sarah! Love the Uniko sentiment - of course - and glad to see we used the same Mama Elephant birthday sentiment too. Sandie is so great to send you that splatter negative - it makes a great stencil. That last card is genius. I so have to get that Avery Elle set now, love the colours and glossy accents and that sentiment is fab :) You have set my Saturday off with a smile x
