Less is Challenge Week No. 12 - Off Centre

I am really struggling with this one over at the Less is More Challenge this week. The recipe has to be 'Off Centre'. I think I have made my card 'At the Side' instead of 'Off Centre'. LOL!!! might need to give this another go. Anyway the sentiment was done on the PC and the stamp is called 'Harriets Flower'. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and layered if onto a deep yellow card. I have cut all the corners with a woodware corner punch. Mandi & Chrissie give is great challenges every week so get on over to the Simply Less is More Blog and join in with all the fun.

Donated Images **UPDATED**














I was donated some images and asked to make some cards for a new project. Sadly the project did not take off so I was told to keep the images for my own use. I have made these two cards so far and if anyone can tell me who the artists are I would be very much appreciated as these are the only ones I have and I really like them.

These images are from 'DigiDarla' and she sent me this message for anyone to get these free digis. Her facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/digidarla


There are 25 of them!
I got mine today. If you would like to get these for yourself, go to
http://www.getfreedigitalstamps.com very soon. The offer is only
available until midnight May1.

Acetate Tree

Well I decided to give the 'Less is More Acetate Challenge' another go. A few people had done some embossing on acetate so I decided to give it a try. I have used the small Xmas tree embossing folder that was free in the Christmas issue of Docrafts Creativity Magazine. I embossing the acetate and them added some Papermania Gems and a green star gem from my stash. I cut the aperture with a Nellie Snellen Die stuck in embossed acetate in with DST and then added a sheet of white pearlescent paper to the back. The bow with the bell I got from Papermill shop before they closed down. Mandi and Chrissie certainly got me thinking with this weeks challenge and I enjoyed making both my cards. Thanks to both of you for a great
challenge every week.
