Less is More Challenge 369 - Bring Something Back

It's been a very long time since I did any bloggin or joined in with card challenges, but I felt I had to join the Less is More Challenge when I saw the theme: Bring Something Back.  It was just coincidence that Sunday afternoon I had been playing with my Rollergraph wheel, which hasn't been used for years, when I hopped onto the Less is More blog just out of interest.

For anyone not ever seeing a Rollergraph wheel before, here it is:

I've got seven different wheels and it's such a shame not to use them so I will be making more use out of them from now on.

Oh, and I also used Grosgrain ribbon from my stash on the card which is also something that was very popular some years ago.

Thank you for dropping by.

Less is More Spiders and Insects

For a change to Christmas cards, I was glad to take part in this week's Less is More challenge which is

Spiders or Insects

Although the theme conjures up Halloween and all things spooky I decided to use my Card-io stamps which aren't at all spooky but the challenge is open to interpretation, so here's my card:

And here's it is a bit closer - you can see my little critters a bit better.

That was a fun card to do - but I suppose I'd better be getting on with my Christmas cards again.

Oh! btw the sentiment stamp is from my trusty Paula Pascual set.

Have a good Sunday and thank you for dropping by.

Less is More: Peacock Feathers

This weeks challenge from the Less is More team is to use colours from a Peacock Feather.

This is my first attempt at using my Spectrum Aquas to create the background and I'm quite pleased with the result. The Peacock stamp and sentiment is from a Kanban set I have.   

Here's my card:

Here's my card:

This beautiful tiger stamp is from Sheena's Taste of India range.  I just stamped the image and masked him off.  I them used a circle stencil to create the background.  The sentiment stamp is also from the same set.

Less is More 284 - Time

Great challenge this week from Less is More:

It's TIME 

for another

ONE LAYER CHALLENGE

and this time the theme is

TIME

Here's my card:

I've stenciled the background using a 'That Special Touch' clock mask and an Anna Griffin inkpad which is a lovely subtle colour.  The stamp is from Lisa B Designs which I just coloured very lightly with watercolour pencils.  A very simple CAS card. I hope you like it.

Thanks for dropping by. Have a good week.

Less is More week 276 - At Sea

Hi all.  I've made a card this afternoon to enter into the Less is More challenge which is as follows:

ONE LAYER CARD

challenge!

The theme for this week is 

At Sea

And here's my card:

To create the card I used my computer to print the sentiment - I hope you like the pun.  I then stamped the fish and masked it off to stamp the background.

I used a very old background stamp from Rubbadubbadoo (one of their stick n stamp range).  I rubbed it over with Adirondack Pool and Distress Ink Stormy Sky which I think has given a nice wave look.

The fish is one of Hobbycraft's own range which cost about a pound - I used Prisma pencils to colour him.  Very quick and simple card to do.  I hope you like it.

Thanks for dropping by.
