New Challenge at Less Is More!

Hi friends!

We have a new fun challenge for you at Less Is More:

I had a bit more time on my hands finally and got to create two cards for your inspiration... Hopefully you'll like them! For more ideas by our fabulous design team, click HERE. This time Skye is our guest designer and I love the die cuts she used in her card! Great to have you joining in, Skye! Uniko continues as our June sponsor. 

Card 1, Christmas (above)

In my first card all the W+9 die cuts are from my "bits" box... And so is the die cut white rectangle, already pre-stamped with a Finnish "Merry Christmas"-sentiment! All I did was adding some Wink of Stella to the pinecones and berries, glued everything together and assembled the card... Very fast and easy!

With this card I'd like to enter:

Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge: Inspiration photo (I chose the colors red, green and brown + branches)

CAS Christmas card Challenges: Masculine

Spring has been so busy I've completely forgot about this challenge... Thank you Trina for reminding me!!

Card 2, Ocean (below)

In my second card I used some pre-made Brusho water colored card + pre- Copic colored and pre-die cut starfish, all from the "bits" box. I die cut the Brusho card with my favorite edge die (Lil'Inker) and assembled the card. The sentiment is from a set I got from my crafting buddy Jill when she visited Finland about a month ago! I love the simplicity of the sentiments in this set.

With this card I'd like to join:

New Challenge at Less Is More!

Hi friends!

We have a new challenge for you at Less Is More:

This gives you a lot of options... Perfect opportunity to begin making Christmas cards for example! I love holidays by water -both seaside holidays and summer vacations at cabins by lakes are my favorites- so I chose a water-themed starfish stamp and sunshiney sentiment for my card. Starfish stamp by Stampers Anonymous, sentiment by PTI and dies by STAMPlorations. I also used some yellow tinted Nuvo Jewel drops for embellishment -if you click the photo larger you'll see them better. This is a very simple card but I love the detail from the die cut rectangles and I think the "whiteness" of the card does keep the overall look pretty CAS. I colored my starfish with copics and added white gel pen for details. 

Our sponsor for the month of August is the fabulous UK based online craft supplies store Seven Hills Crafts. Play along and you could win a coupon to their store!

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here to share my DT card for the new Inkspirational Challenge. We are being inspired by this fabulous photo:

If you click the photo larger you'll see there's a blue starfish on the shelf -that was my main inspiration point. I also used a line stamp (Prima) + woodgrain background paper, both inspired by the planks in the photo. The starfish stamp is by Stampers Anonymous and I bought it especially for this challenge (+ a couple of more DT cards that are coming up later). It's a new stamp style for me and I was a bit confused what to make with it at first but I do like this end result! I colored the images with Copics and added lots of dotted details with my favorite white gel pen. The sentiment (by Altenew) is heat embossed with white powder on black card. Clear sequins finish off this card. Oh and I should mention the lines are stamped with Delicata gold ink... They shine beautifully IRL! 

I hope you'll now head on over to our challenge blog to find out what the rest of the DT made. Our guest designer this time is Jaydee and I've sen her card -it's amazing! Don't miss it. :)
