Splash of blue card

Hi everyone, just popping by to show you another
'Less is More' card I have made.
 
 
This week the theme is 'METAL' , I came up with
 this idea for my second card.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
TH distress ink 'Peacock feathers' and a 
'Hobby Craft' stamp. I finished the card
using a bit of twine and  a dove metal charm.
Also some Liquid pearls 'White Opal' on
the tips of the flowers.

Little scene card

Good morning everyone, a lovely sunny day here today
for a change. I have another 'Less is More' card to
show you today it being Saturday once again.
 
 
 
This time it's a recipe and........
 
 
 
 
"For our recipe this week we have chosen 
METAL
We'd like to see something made from metal on your
 creation. Anything will do, charms, soda can scraps, diecuts,
 eyelets, paperclips, brads, whatever you can come up with!"





I painted a little scene using TH distress inks and drew
a few birds to add interest. I also used a tree die 
(Savvy dies) and a tiny metal bee charm ( top hole
cut off).
 
 
 
The little  bee 'escaped' and I had to get another grrr !
Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned :)

Good afternoon friends/bloggers, just adding this quick
card I made today.

'LIM' challenge as well as the CASology one so
 adding it to both challenges.
 
 
Dearie Dolls digi and a computerized sentiment,image
coloured with Flexmarkers and Promarkers. 
 
 
Not a great photo, now I know why I never make side-
ways opening cards anymore.
 
 
ps. Lost yet another 2lbs this week, onwards
and downwards !

Grungy card

Hi everyone, just popping by to post my final 'Less is More'
card for this week. I couldn't resist doing just one more !
 
 
The theme this week is a............
 
 
MASCULINE
 card
 
 
 
I wanted to make a more grungy type card this time using
 a more neutral looking palette. I used some TH distress
 inks and bit of  negative embossing.
 
 
 
The plane stamp is by 'Cart Us' and the sentiment is a 
Penny Black one 'Gratitude'. I left the plane black as I
didn't want more colour to dominate the grungy look.
 
 
I am using some Snow White Linen card atm. as I found
lots of it....as you do! My usual Linen card is running low
 atm. It's whiter and more textured than my other card, 
still not sure which I like best yet.
 
 
 
Have a good week whatever you have planned :)

Little boy card

Good morning friends/bloggers, I trust this finds you all well.
The winds have gone now thank heavens and we escaped 
with little damage. I hope you all stayed safe too.
 
 
Here is another 'Less is More' card see details below.....

 
"This week our theme is one for the chaps!
SO we'd like to see a 
MASCULINE
card.
Any aged chap will do as long as the card is for the male gender!"

This is what I came up with, using a Dearie Dolls digi image
& colouring with Promarkers.


boy, masculine

Masculine card

Hi  everyone, phew it's very windy here today. We
were up at 5 am. trying to stop our car port roof from
 blowing away.
 
It sounded like a hurricane at times. With help from 
some heavy ladders on top it's still there....just. Our
 neighbours fence just blew down though so we had  to
 rush to drag it off the road.
 
Not before some stupid driver had run over it though.
Did he not realise there would be nails all along it !
I hope you all stay safe until this horrid weather stops.
Right onto this week's 'Less is More' challenge
which this time is.........
 
"This week our theme is one for the chaps!
SO we'd like to see a
MASCULINE
card.
Any aged chap will do as long as the card is
 intended for the male gender!"

I quickly came up with this idea, having recently
found the fabulous Tagxedo site  for making
 word clouds.


A bit of embossing, edging with Momento 'Desert Sand'
ink and a touch of twine and it was finished.


Just as well as I am keeping an eye on our neighbours
 remaining fence panel to see if that comes down too.
ps. A big welcome to my latest follower, welcome aboard.
Also see some freebie sentiments on my last two posts
 if you haven't looked yet and want them :)

Freebie 'With Love' sentiments

Good afternoon everyone, here are a few more freebie
sentiments for you. I hope you like them.
I made a quick card again so you can see what they 
look like.
 
 
Let me know if you prefer .jpg or .png images too please.
I did make both but didn't want to make too long a post.



I will add which seems most popular with everyone in
future. I made these so they print on the front 
of an A6 card, hence the big gaps.
 
 
 
ps. Usual terms apply to my freebies, free to use on any
 projects but please don't claim them as your own
and direct people back here to download them,
thank you :)

Freebie sentiments

Hi everyone, here are the free sentiments I made as promised. I hope you like them :)
 I made a quick card using one so you can see what they look like on a card.


 More to come tomorrow, I used a love theme as it's getting near Valentine's day
and I thought you might find them handy. I think this card may be used for my
lovely OH for our Anniversary on the 13th, our 43rd......oh my how the years
 pass so quickly.

Been messing with html.....that's why this post looks  a bit strange ....all sorted now
though I think.

Wonderful day card

Hi everyone, just a quick post to show you another
'Less is More' card. This week it's......
 
 
'One Layer'
&
'Anything Goes'
 
 
Yes I know it's YET another pink one, what can I say.
I seem to be drawn to making pink ones!
(btw. see new pic of my cutie granddaughter....
wearing pink of course lol). 
 
 
 
I know you will understand Christine he he ;)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I used an Inkadinkado flourish stamp and a
Hobby Art sentiment. I sponged with Momento
 'Angel Pink'  ink and coloured the flowers/leaves
 using Promarkers. 
 
 
 
A couple of embossed lines
completed the card.
I decided to add a few pen line squiggles as an
afterthought......as you do. Hmm which do you
 like best?
 
 
 
 
Wonderful day
 
 
 
ps. I am still dabbling with making digi pages, this is 
my latest effort.
 
 
 
 
Trying a bit of 'OOB'ing, ( Out of boundaries), took
bloomin' ages and I may just be addicted now too...oh my!
 
 
 
 
Out of Boudaries dig page
 
 
 
Btw. I will be adding some  sentiments etc. I made soon.
Thought I may as well share as I know I like a nice
 freebie too :) 
 
 
 
If they are liked I will do it on a regular basis maybe,
let me know if you want them !

Orange and Yellow Happy Birthday card

Good morning friends/bloggers, it's a sunny day here
for a change although a very windy one.
 
 
 So much rain day after day, no end in sight either.
 I  really feel for all those who have been badly
 affected  by all the flooding.Stay safe everyone !
 
 
 
Saturday is here again so it's time for another
'Less is More' card of course. This week 
it's ..........


'ONE LAYER'
&
'Anything Goes'



I was awake quite early and before I knew it,
even before I had got dressed I came up with
this idea. 
 
 
OH then dragged me away for our usual
walk in the woods before I could take a photo
or upload it....so annoying!!!! I did get dressed
first  ......incase you were wondering lol.
 
 
Oh my this is turning into a long post  now....
sorry ! I know you all probably have little time
and like me just want to see the card and items used
and not listen to waffling. I will try and be brief now!
 
 
 
Happy Birthday card
 



I 'splodged' some TH distress ink  'Ripe Persimmon'
and 'Sqeezed Lemonade' onto my card.
 
 
Then I added a Lavinia stamp, embossing in Wow
  'White Pearl' and also in Momento 'Tuxedo Black'.
 
 
 A 'Hobby Art'  sentiment  and a couple of embossed
 lines  completed the card. Now starting another card,
will post it soon. Have a lovely weekend whatever 
you have planned.


ps. For those watching my battle with losing weight,
you will see I am down another 2lbs ....onwards
and downwards! Loving this 5.2 diet.

Rainbow card

Hi friends, can't believe it's Saturday yet again. Where do
all the days/weeks/months go to?
 
 
Wow it's Less is More's 3rd birthday today, how did
 that happen? ...the years are flying past so quickly it
seems. 
 
 
Lots of GDT cards over 'LIM' this week, so lovely to see Mandi
showing us a card and a few photo's too....miss you still !
 
 
Thankyou to Chrissie and Mandi for starting it all and showing
us such great inspiration week after week....and now also
 Jen of course...... I guess I am really addicted now.
Anyhoo onto this week's challenge which is.......
  
 
 
"Our colour challenge for this week is "

RAINBOW
 
 
 
I came up with this idea fairly quickly, punching
hearts out of rainbow coloured card.
 
 
 
 I added a sentiment using my fav new  Waltzing Mouse
stamp and a few different coloured inks. Took a 
few 'goes' to get it right but got there in the  end.
Have a lovely weekend everyone  whatever you
 have planned :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
ps. My cold is better now ...thanks to all who asked ! I have
 added a banner to keep track of my weight loss too.

doing the 5.2 diet....anyone else doing it too??
