Ruby Wedding

Well another week has passed and I just don't seem to be getting the time to make cards these days. I needed to do this one for a Ruby Anniversary coming up so decided to make it for the 'Less is More' challenge this week which is 'Monogram'. I have used a cream pearlescent card with the Monogram and sentiment all computer generated. I have added a wine coloured organza ribbon from Poppicrafts and and wine coloured bow from my stash. I am quite pleased with the way this one turned out. Mandi & Chrissie set out great challenges every week and its a pleasure to join in. They both have fantastic blogs as well and they are well worth a visit.

In The Frame

Well over at 'Less is More' this week you have to make a card 'In The Frame'. I have had these magnetic stamps for ages and never used dthem so decided to give it a try. There is 2 frames and 10 different inserts. I have inked the frame using a little 'pen' type ink pad with yellow and green and then inked the insert with a brown one. I think it looks a bit squint but this was my first attempt so please forgive me. The sentiment is a rubber stamp I have had for a while as well so inked it up with the same brown ink pen as the centre image. I feel the card looks a bit bare!! What do you think?

Monochrome

Well it is time for another challenge over at Less is More. The challenge this week is Monochrome or Black & White. I chose Purple as my colour and have stamped this image - sorry I don't know what it is as the stamp was donated to me - with Ink It Up [Violet] ink pad. I stamped one image on the card and another slightly off the card. I have added a Lilac butterfly - only because I smudged the ink!!!! LOL!!! I have added 2 Purple gems from my stash to the Butterfly body. The Sentiment was printed from the PC and layered onto a deep purple card both cut with nesties. I added another little lilac gem under the sentiment. I hope I have not put too much on this card. Mandi & Chrissie really get me thinking each week.
Pop over to the Less is More Blog for another great challenge.

White base card with pink stitched backing paper which was donated. Image is Pollycraft 'Cuthbert Balloons' and is coloured with Promarkers. I have added some ribbon, bow and card candy from my stash.

peel-off for the sentiment.

A Winter's Kiss

Well it is Saturday again and time for this week's Less is More challenge which is a Recipe 'Pick A Square'. I have chosen to go for the centre and used my Marianne Creatable 'Snowflake Die'. I have stuck it down with sticky paps to make it stand out on the card and have added some 'Icicle' Stickles. In the centre I have put a white card candy with a litte bit of Stickles on that too. I printed the sentiment from the PC directly onto the base card. Not sure if the sentiment should have been a bit bigger!!! If you have not tried these challenges get over to the Less is More blog and see what Mandi & Chrissie have for us each week. It's great fun and gets you thinking. I look forward to Saturday mornings to see what they have in store for us.

Silver Butterfly

Over at Less is More this week the theme is 'Butterfly/Butterflies.
I have used a white base card with the a Marianne Creatable Butterfly cut with silver mirror card. I layered the two butterflies together and open the wings on the top one. I have added a trail of gems. The sentiment is free from Digital Doodling and I layered onto some silver mirror card.
