Kraft plus black and white

Hi everyone, I made the flowers by stamping onto kraft, heat embossing with black detail embossing poweder, and highlighting with a white gel pen.

Flower stamp and one of the word stamps by Dawn Bibby Designs, other word stamp by Hobby Art.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Less Is More, week 85: use an oval somewhere on your card

CAS-usual Fridays: use black and white plus one other colour of your choice

One Layer Wednesday no 101

Hi everybody and a big hello and welcome to new members Stephanie and Marie!

This is my first entry in the One Layer Wednesday challenge to make a card using the colour BLUE. I would also like to enter this card into the Addicted to Stamps challenge (2nd entry), theme challenge #2 - a card for BOYS.

I've stamped all the elements with Ranger Distress Ink (Faded Jeans) and water-coloured with Aqua Markers.

Ocean scene, bird and anchor stamps by Kanban, sentiment stamp by Craftwork Cards.

I also made a DL version, as I don't have many mens cards in my stash - this time I stamped with black Memento and water-coloured with Ranger Distress Inks (sentiment stamp by Dawn Bibby Designs).

Was hoping to carry on crafting but the craft room is a little hot to say the least!

Less Is More week 72 (pt 2)

Hi everyone, I decided to make a second card for this week's Less Is More challenge to make a card using something shiny.

The dandelion and border stamps are by Marion Emberson, background word stamp by Paper Inspirations, and greeting word stamp by Dawn Bibby Designs.

Shininess provided by a clear gem in the middle of the dandelion!

Less Is More week 72

Hi everyone, here is my card for week 72 of the Less Is More challenge, and the theme this week is to use something shiny. I found its quite difficult to photograph a card in a way that shows the shine!

I have used a foil edged diecut shape and stamped the poppies and the message in black Memento, coloured the flowers and edged the card using Promarkers.

The poppy stamps are by Hobby Art, diecut and message stamp by Dawn Bibby Designs.
