Less is More entry

Hi fellow bloggers
I am a bit late with this but hopefully not too late. It is 4yrs since the LiM challenge began and the theme is pink and grey. So congratulations and happy birthday to the LiM team.

For this card I have used hero arts grey shadow to colour the space under the pink strip from sizzix sizlets pad which was finished with a martha stewart edge punch. The strip was then given an embossed edge using the scorit.

 I used stazon grey ink pad for the sentiment and edged it and parts of the pansies with sakura glitter pen. The two pink butterflies were punched out and the grey dragon fly was also using the hero arts ink pad.

Lime & Green again

This is definitely a great colour mix - I am entering it for the LiM challenge as my third entry of the week

  [The mark is on the camera screen - oops!]


This time I have used a plain black oblong with rounded corners to underlay the Martha Stewart punched border and then used a Creata heart frame on top with a love sentiment inside the bottom of the heart. The other touch is 2 black card candi
                                    at either end of floral strip.                                 

In the Pink challenge

Hi again - I am entering this for the In the Pink Challenge - using dies and punches.

I have used:

• all bazill card - pink and white
• martha stewart deep punch
• sizzix fringed floral die
• spellbinders scalloped circle
• anna griffin stamp on the fringed flowers embossed with pearl stampendous powder
• free stamp - thankyou embossed with debbi moore embossing powder old rose [had for years!]
• odd flowers
• card candi

LiM 79

Happy Saturday fellow bloggers - the sun is out and team GB doing great and doing us all so proud.
The theme for this weeks challenge is colour - blue and green.

I have used lime bazill bling for the edges and a martha stewart edger punch. The dots are a from a background stamp by Hero Arts stamped directly on the base card with dark blue brilliance ink [looks darker in real life]. The sentiment and 2 little flowers are from a sticker sheet coloured to match with a promarker.

2nd post - LiM reject!

Hi fellow bloggers

this is my original idea for the LiM challenge this week but then decided against it as I had stuck the scalloped border in the wrong place. Anyway thankyou cards are always useful so no worries. This time the scallop has a strip of contrast underneath and twine round it. The sentiment is also spelt out with twine as it was a better match than my ribbon - done at a jaunty angle as lining up was tricky as the twine is very springy. Envelope lined with matching paper. Well  off back to my "organising".

first attempt at quilling - [edited sentiment]

2nd post today as I have tried out quilling for the first time. I have cheated a bit as I have used a cuttlebug quilling die to cut the elements for the chrysanthemum.  I have used the die + martha stewart punch for the easel stopper and a shapeabilites ribbon buckle layered on top. I have recycled one of the elements as the backing for the quilled flowers is a piece of packaging from an embellishment pack, cut with a labels die, as  think it goes well with the bazill colours I have used for the flowers. I can see the quilling die getting used quite a bit from now! The sentiment has been changed as I thought on looking at it that the black was too harsh
