3 Squares

White base card with cream and brown pearlescent squares. I cut the hearts out with a woodware punch and added a peel-off sentiment and a silver heart shaped brad. I thought it looked okay and then remembered I had this brown ribbon with hearts on it in my stash to just added that too. -I hope it is not too much for the Less is More challenge which you can enter here.
Thanks for all your comments and I do agree with you about the brad. I wish I had never put it on now. LOL!!!
I just want to say 'Thanks' to all you gave me constructive critisism on my card - I do appreciate it and gives me inspiration to think more. Thanks everyone.

Friendship

White base card with image from a set of doggy ones I have - not sure who makes them as there is nothing to say who does on the packet. I cut the layers with my nesties and moved the plain one slightly to try and make a double line round it. I have coloured the image with Promarkers. The image is printed directly onto the card from the PC. I have added some card candy from my stash.

Lilac base card with a square doilly topped with pink pearlescent card. I have printed the sentiment directly onto the pink card from PC. I stamped in image in lilac ink and cut the shape with my nesties. The flowers are from my stash and the have some pearls attached to them. I added some diamond gems to the centre of the flower and the opposite corners of the pink layer. The border I punched with a Martha Stewart punch. The black scalloped oval was donated.

Less is More Challeng Week 3 - Theme 'Spring'

I have made this card for Less is More Challenge this week and the theme is Spring. I chose this stamp just because of the buds on it and to me this means spring is here when you see all the buds coming out. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and layered it onto some yellow card. My base card is white and I printed the sentiment directly onto the base card. Anyone can enter the 'less is more' challenge each week and you can do this here.

Birthday Boy

White base card with backing paper from the lovely Angie's photobucket site and you can get it here. The images if Karens Doodles 'Summertime Boy- Soccer' and you purchase it here. I have coloured him with Promarkers. I cut a silver shape with Nesties and added a Circle Sentiment from Beccy's Bits and you can get this here. I added a silver peel-off football to the centre of the sentiment.
