Less Is More ,,,,??

Hi all :-) this is a very quick card from me this evening !!

I made this with the Less Is More challenge in mind whose theme is One Layer + Embossing and also the Simon Says Stamp and Show whose theme is ‘Old Wives Tales’ I went with ‘A stitch in Time’





I used SU Crumb Cake card, bought from Mandi and I used a stamp from the Tim Holtz Haberdashery set. I inked it with Vintage Photo distress ink and embossed with Vintage photo embossing powder. I then coloured all the edges with the ink too. The tape was in a Christmas cracker and the ribbon slider was a purple brad that I inked and embossed too. I added the Graphic 45 chipboard button and used twine to make ‘9’ !

Thanks for looking and I look forward to hearing what you think,,, I might have cheated here adding the tape and button ,,,,,

Hi all :-) Hope the weather is blooming marvelous where you are to get you in the mood for this weeks theme on the Papertake Weekly Challenge !!

BLOOM AND GROW :-)

we are sponsored by The Ribbon Girl and the prize is a fab Molly at the Beach stamp for one lucky entrant :-)





I used this very cute Molly Blooms stamp, this one is called Sunflower Molly. I coloured her with Copics and layered her top, shorts, wellies and sunflower, inked the edges with Stormy Sky Distress Ink. The papers are My Minds Eye from the Mabel pad. I used a Martha Stewart Pansy border punch and a ribbon, watering can charm and brad that were in my stash. The flowers are a mix of Prima and WOC and I added a few Robins Nest Dew Drops and stickles for sparkle.





I made a pocket on the inside to hold seeds or stamped images ,, depending on who I will send it to ,,, maybe a mixture of both !! Smile The seed packs were a free download from here .
