Together Forever

I have used a Pink base card and have cut the edge with Martha Stewart Lace Edge Punch. I have added a blue strip behind to show of the hearts. The blue spotted backing paper is from Dovecraft 'Back to Basics' pad. The image is LOTV 'Together Forever' and I have coloured it with Promarkers. The flowers are from my stash. The sentiment was printed from the PC onto pink card and layered onto a blue Nellie Snellen Die. I have added a pink ribbon and blue gems to the edges.

Circles Again

This is my second card for the Less is More Circles Challenge. I have to agree with Mandi that my last card was a bit intricate for Less is More so decided to give it another go. I hope this will will be better. LOL!!
I have used a Papermania Snowflakes embossing folder for half of the card and a Cuttlebug Sentiment Folder for the sentiment down the edge. I have stamped two Penny Black Snowmen and cut them out with my Nesties Circles Die.

Circles

Less is More this week is 'Circles'. I have used a Joy Crafts Circle Die, A Scalloped Circle Punch and A Scalloped Circle Nestie. I have added die cut corners as the card looked very plain without them. The sentiment was printed from the PC using 'Geeoh Hmk' font. The image is from a Debbie Moore CD and I have added some gems from my stash. I think I have left enough white on this card for the Less is More Challenge.

Special Friend

I have used a white base card with backing paper from the Papermania Capsule Collection. The image is LOTV - Deckchair Dreaming which was donated to me. I have layered him onto white and yellow card and coloured it with Promarkers. The Flourishes are Marianne Creatable Die cut from green pearlescent card. The flowers, brads and gems are from my stash. I done the sentiment on the PC and cut the shapes with Nesties.

Something with Legs

Well over at 'Less is More' this week we had to make a card with legs on it. I have chosen this Popcorn the Bear, although he is sitting down he has two legs. I printed the sentiment direct from the PC using the 'TwizotHmk' font. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and added a thread for the fishing line. You can see I have added a very thin ribbon down the side and that is only because I smudged the ink when stamping. LOL!!!

I have printed the sentiment from the pc and cut it out with nesties and layered it onto silver mirror card. The ribbon and bow are from Poppicrafts and the gems are from my stash.

Two Cards

Another week has gone by and I missed last weeks challenge so I have two cards for you today. Bowling seems to be taking over my life at the moment and crafting is coming second at the moment. Anyway here is my card for this weeks 'Less is More' challenge which is the 'Shades of Blue'. I have used a navy blue base card and the image is from Pollycraft Designs 'Little Chapz Pirates' and he is coloured with different shades of Blue Promarkers. I have layered him onto a lighter shade of blue card and added some blue gems in one corner. The sentiment is done on the PC and printed in Blue.

This is my second card and I should have entered this into last weeks challenge at 'Less is More' for their sketch challenge. I have used a silver hammered base card with a velvet Christmas Ribbon and added three Marianne Creatable Snoflakes with some gems added to the centre of each one. Sorry this is a bit late but don't like to miss out on any of Mandi and Chrissie's challenges as they give me great inspiration and get my mind going. LOL!! If I have one!!!!
