Less is More #228

Morning all I'm back with the new challenge details for 
Less is More  and this week it's a One Layer Card with a Home theme
So let your imagination take you away ... unlike me sticking with 2 Good Luck in Your New Home ones! 
We are having a mini and I guess a short-lived heatwave in  the UK so it's hard to craft when the sun is beating down because we get so little we really need to make the most of it! Hence my first card features digi images which I rarely use

I found this one in my stash from Pollycraft and I love all the  colours and wonky style. My sentiment is from the super talented  Hannelie - Desert Diva who kindly allowed me to use her perfect  image ... as soon as I saw the font and style on her card from last week HERE I thought it would work brilliantly with this image.



Next up I was blown away by all your fabulous creations for out Sunset challenge last week and I couldn't resist getting those  colours in my card again - especially with this sunny weather here.

Card Recipe:

Distress Inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilised Amber, Spiced Marmalade & Festive Berries

Clearly Besotted Stamps: Naughty or Nice - I've used the reverse of the stamp from this Christmas set

and the sentiment is from the Everything Changes butterfly set that was released recently.

Uniko Studio: Natures Treasures for the grasses

My last one is for a bit of a giggle really but I did NEED

a New home card for my sister and brother-in-law

So their surname is 'Tudor' very regal, hence the Castle image and my niece is a 4 year old Disney princess so I hope she'll love this.
Card Recipe: Lawn Fawn: Life is Good (sand-castle image) coloured with stabilo markers Clearly Besotted: Home Sweet Home sentiments and Design a Tree set Distress Inks: Cracked Pistachio and Tumbled Glass for a delicate water-colour wash above and below the castle.

Ok I'm handing over to you talented bunch and excited to see your creations this week. Thanks for stopping by and hope you get to enjoy some sunshine as well as crafting.

MINI CREATURES, BUGS & CREEPY CRAWLIES

Morning Crafty Pals

Here we are again ... Saturday which means

A new Less is More Challenge

and this week it's all about Little Creatures

 so dig out your stamps and goodies and get busy!

I've raided my digi images and this one is a pre-coloured

stamp from Pollycraft which I've embellished with 

Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents.

The sentiment is Clearly Besotted: from the In the Frame set

stamped onto a mini banner die from WPlus9

To add a little interest to my card I've embossed a horizontal strip
using a die from the MFT Die-Namics Blueprint 13 set.

I'm also entering this card at CAS on Sunday where the

current theme is 'Emboss It' and hopefully this little strip will suffice!

Next up I've used another digi stamp - this one was free 

but I'm sorry can't remember where I picked it up from.

The sentiment is Clearly Besotted: Sweet Little Sentiments,

Scalloped die also Clearly Besotted then for added interest

bakers twine, gems from my stash and glossy accents.

I've gone a bit crazy on the colour for this one as I'm following the 

colour palate at ColourQ plus the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches but

hopefully you can still make out my little bugs!

  

Stamps Used: Clearly Besotted: Build a Bug with matching dies

& sentiment from: It's Your Birthday

Uniko Studio: Flower Power 6

Design paper is Doodlebug and the caterpillars are drizzled with

more glossy accents.

Ok that's all for me so over to you talented people

and I can't wait to see your creations - you certainly pulled

all the stops out with the 2 of something challenge last week.

So have a fun and crafty weekend and I'll be back soon.
