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:

Thanks for dropping by.

Less is more - OLC Film

A very quick post!  I have a new fur baby and don't want to leave him on his own for too long this evening (husband out with mates, eldest daughter in Dubai - alright for some, and youngest at theatre so just me and him tonight).

Here he is:

Isn't he just the most adorable thing you ever did see?  He's a 16 week old Lhasa Apso and he's hilarious - we're all smitten with him.

Anyway, here's my card for this week's lessismoore challenge which is a OLC with a theme of 'Film'.

Can you guess my film?

'Memoirs of a Geisha'

I cut a circle from the centre of a piece of paper and laid it over my card and then used ink dusters to create the background - a mix of Adirondack and Distress inks.  The stamps are mainly Kanban but the Geisha is a miniature Clarity Stamp. She's just the right size to go with this set of stamps.  I drew the birds using a fine tip marker.

Thanks for stopping by.

Less is More week 52 - Sketch

Here we are again, another weekend and another great challenge from  Chrissie and Mandi. A really simple sketch:

I have another card or two buzzing around in my head for this one so expect more entries for this challenge.

Here's my card:

I used Versacolor inkpads to create the background of the panel and then used my new Birds of Paradise Kanban stamps.

The sentiment is a really old stamp I've got in my collection - I think it's from The Stamp Man's Aspects of Design.

Hope you like it.  I'm off to get on with my next card.
