Less is More - Music

Another very quick post today to enter this card into the Less is More challenge, which this week is music. As Christmas gets closer I am finding less and less time to blog, so for my lack of commenting I apologies, everything should be back to normal as soon as Christmas is out of the way.
Anyway this card is all Barbara Gray and it's all direct onto the card, no layers here hehe. The Joy is embossed with silver sparkle powder, didn't use a brayer mind just sponged the blue using a big and juicy. Have done a couple in gold as well but think I prefer the silver as it's more sparkly :)

Hope everyone is ready for Christmas and just incase I don't get chance again have a fantastic Christmas and New Year :) xx

Less is More - Let it Snow

Really quick post tonight, wanted to get this in for the Less is More challenge which this week is a one layer Let it Snow
Took inspiration from Chrissie for this weeks card as I had brought myself some white embossing powder and really wanted to try this technique of embossing and then inking over the top. Not sure I like the green, but will be making some more in the blue to give out :)

Not sure I will make it round everyone this week as I am so late getting on the blog, but there are some fantastic creations over there :)

Less is More - Colour Green

Bit late with this again this week for the Less is More challenge which this week is to make a card using the colour green. Well struggled again with this, spent the weekend watching Barbara Gray on Create and Craft and had a play with her stamps from lesson one using a big and juicy.
Have enjoyed making prety patterns with this corner stamp and will have another play.

Did have a bit of a play with the brayer and a christmas tree stamp but not sure how to make these into a card that I liked.

Hope everyone has had a fab weekend, really need to make a serious start on making Christmas cards, at this rate I am going to be buying some!! hehe

Less is More - Bling

Oh boy another weekend nearly over, can't believe how quickly they are going. A bit late with this card for the Less is More challenge which this week is Bling.
Rediscovered this stamp last week and am really enjoying using it, unfortunately the photo doesn't show how blingy this card is. Stamp has been embossed with silver and filled with glitter and sparkly gems and mounted on some silver mirror card.

Going to use this stamp to make some more christmas cards, hope everyone has had a fab weekend, beautiful day here today, can even here someone mowing their lawn!!

I ♥ Promarkers - Christmas Tree

Back again, on a bit of a roll today. Thought I would have a quick go at the I ♥ Promarkers challenge, which this week is Christmas Trees.
Have had this stamp forever and used to make Christmas cards when I first started crafting. Have had a bit of a play with it using different embossing powders and liked thisone the best, which is embossed with silver and has a bit of sparkle. Have used Clarity silk card to stamp the image and then used promarkers in different shades of purple. Layered the image on some purple and silver card, the word vellum is something else I have had for ever and not even sure where it came from. Think I might make a few more of these. :)

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment so I kow you have visited :)

Kenny K - Kids Rule

Kenny K have brought out some fab new images of kids so to coincide with this release their challenege this week is Kids Rule.
Made this card for my nephew's birthday and these cute boys are called Tug of War, actualy got these when they were a freebie but this is the first time I have used them. They are coloured with promarkers and copics and then cut out. Used some papers from stash and added some stars and a ready made tag and that was about it for this one.

Can't believe it is Sunday again where do the weeks go, hope everyone has had a fab weekend and roll on the next :)

Less is More - Silhouettes

Before I get into this weeks Less is More challenge can I just thank everyone that visited me last week and commented on my card, I really appreciate it :)

Anyway struggled again with this weeks Silhouette challenege as you can see below, had various ideas but couldn't seem to pull any of them together.
Anyway went with a stamp I have had for ever and never made into a card. After stamping the image I clear heat embossed it a few times and popped it in the freezer to crack the glaze (doesn't show up that well in photo) and matted on some black card. Base card has a pearl sheen to it and added stamped a sentiment.

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend and another thank you to Chrissie & Mandi for running the best challenge :)
