LiM - One Layer - Outline

Hi fellow bloggers
This is not my time of year,  the short, grey, cold days do not help me feel creative.  But  back to the LiM challenge for this week which is one layer and the theme is on outlines.

I have gone for a monochrome look using versamark black pigment ink and my Scorit.

LiM colour challenge using primary colours

Hi again fellow bloggers here is my entry for the above - nice and simple CAS. The picture doesn't quite show the embossed lline down the side of the spotty border. For this card I used some Kuretake dot pens - I have uncovered such a lot of things I forgot I had - in primary colours to make the dotty border and to cover the diecut sentiment. Clear gems were added to the blue dots in the border and the embossed border was made with my Scorit tool,
I used a Picasa effect to to give a blue background and polaroid effect.

LiM - one layer

Hi fellow bloggers - I hope you are all well and crafty :)
I am a bit later with this challenge this week as was attending workshops and demos at the weekend.
The theme for the LiM challenge this week is to make a one layer card to show a favourite flower. I chose the pansy as they are my joint favourite with sweet peas but don't have a sweet pea stamp.

I made a mask so that I could stamp a circle shape. I used distress inks for the stamping and used cardio peg stamps. I also used the scorit to give a little background interest and the faux hanging chain.

LiM entry - something tactile

Hi fellow bloggers
This week we have been asked to add a 3d element so decided to look at some old stash for inspiration as the sky is grey and I am missing the sunshine. I found some mulberry paper flowers which I layered up with a brad to hold together and drew in the stem and handcut the pot. The sentiment is a mini one I have had for many years but I thought it suited the flower. The sides of the card were given a score line with my Scorit as wasth base of the sentiment. Sadly my photography skills are a bit lacking.

Addicted to CAS challenge

Hi fellow bloggers
here is my entry for the Addicted to CAS challenge - Stripes.
I have used a stamp from my stash that I inked with a Brilliance striped ink pad.
stamped at a jaunty angled highlighted with score lines using my Scorit. The sentiment is
stamped using the same inkpad and an Anna Griffin stamp at the opposite jaunty angle.

LiM entry

Hi fellow bloggers - hope you are all well - I have been trying to sort out some of my stash this week so not much done but have managed an entry this week for the theme  things that make me happy.


http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/

One of my favourite things are pansies as I love their faces as they make me want to smile, so I have used peg stamps with pansy flowers for this card. I have used distress inks - dusty concord, chipped sapphire and sage moss together with brilliance  moonlight for the butterflies. I used my water brush to soften some of the edges. The backing paper is sizzix sizzlit and I have used purple cord for the contrast. Also used my scorit tool for the embossed lines - although they don't show up so well in the photo. The envelope is given an edge to match with an embossed butterfly on the flap.

Starry, starry night

Hi fellow blogger - hope you sre enjoying your weekend and having time for crafting. The title is the theme for this weeks LiM challenge and I was tempted to add in something to do with Vincent Van Gogh after the song by Don Vncent [ showing my age Lol!]. But in the end conformed to a more traditional interpretation.

The sky is made using a sponge and Ranger distress ink - stormy sky. The stars are a docraft stamp from a xmas set stamped using silver brilliance ink - they look much better in real lfe as the silver sparkle - heyho doubt I will ever be picked for my photography skills :(. The sentiment is one by Barbara Grey and using the same ink as the sky. And the scorit was used to outline the sentiment.
Happy crafting.

2 more cardio cards

Hi again fellow bloggers
I liked the last cardio card so much I decided to make 2 more with matching envelopes too. I again used ranger inks and also scored off the panels with the scorit tool. I think it justs frames the stamped image in a tidy way.

LiM 84

Happy Saturday - fellow bloggers -we are having one of the few sunny days this year. Here is my entry for this weeks LiM which is a one layer card with a foliage theme. I have used:

• distress inks in pesto and rusty hinge
• hero arts leaf stamp from a quattro set
• a C&C stamp
• my scorit

It is quite a simple card using a masking technique but made a mess of two attempts so this is 3rd time lucky!! I think the one thing about a simple card is that if you make an error it is not easy to find a way of covering it up.
