Less is More Challenge 268

WHAT'S OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW?

The challenge from the Less is More team is to create a card using your imagination or dreams of the scene outside your window.  

Here's my card:

We have a cheeky little robin who spends most of the day flitting in and out of our garden, chasing off any other little birds that dare come onto his patch.  And as spring is now officially here I thought I could get away with a bit of blossom on the branch (my Magnolia is just about to burst open - can't wait).

I used the following:
Branch die - Kimono range from Crafter's Companion
Bird - Memory Box
Nestabilities Small Labels
Stampin Up Word Window Punch
Paula Pascual sentiment stamp
Promarkers

I also used a cloud stencil cut out on my Cameo and Adirondack Winter Sky inkpad.

Thank you for dropping by.

A card for two challenges

                  Hi guys, sorry for another lapse in blogging - struggling to find time to do anything a the moment - hope things will be better now the nights are drawing in and the garden is less demanding.  I have whipped up a card at the last minute to join in with the Less is More Challenge - here's what it is this week:

                  Less is More has a Lucky Dip Challenge and it is to use

                                 Sprays/Mists 

and I also want to enter into

Time Out challenge for this week which is to 'Make your Mark' which calls for you to use any kind of marker on your card. 

                                     
Here's my card:

Sorry if the picture is a bit dark - a bit of a dull afternoon.

I used this little tool that I've had in my stash for years and not used much to spray ink from a Whispers Watercolour Pen through a stencil.

The die cuts are Memory Box and the banner is a snippet of paper from Pink Petticoat.

The Hello was printed out with my Dymo embossing tool.

Thank you for dropping by.

Black & White Plus One

I came across the CAS-UAL FRIDAYS Challenge blog today whilst doing a bit of blog hopping, and if you have visited my blog before you will know that CAS is my favourite kind of card. 

So, here's my very first entry into CAS-UAL FRIDAYS challenge:

And this is what I used:

Poppystamps Nestled Bird die

Memory Box Woven Circle die

Sizzix Hello Friend Diagonal Frame embossing folder

Silhouette Cameo to cut out the branch

Clare Curd sentiment stamp

I cut the woven circle twice - one in black and one in white card and layered them on top of each other. Oh, and in case it's not obvious, my Plus One colour is the brown branch.

Hope you like it.

Silhouette Cameo Flowers

Hi all. Hope you're well and enjoying the weekend. Nice to see some sun for a change.

The flowers on the card I have to show today were made using my Cameo machine.

This is how it started off life:

I added colour using the Silhouette Studio software to create a Print and Cut project.  I just added an offset border around the edge and cut the blossoms out with the Cameo.  Here we have the finished result:

Other items I used:

Hero Arts Woodgrain Stamp

Clarity Sentiment Stamp

Memory Box Woven Circle die

Leaves cut out with the Cameo

Hope you like it and thanks for dropping by.
