Less is More Alphabet 316

G'day from Sydney

There is a new challenge up at Less is More and it's all about the alphabet. I have had a small background stamp from Hampton Art by 7gypsies that I have never used and thought this challenge would be the perfect time to ink it up.  First I stamped the Sydney Opera House from Darkroom Door onto a piece of white cardstock, stamped it again on masking paper and cut it out. Placed the mask over the image, stamped the cities of the world background using my Misti to make sure I had a good impression. I then stamped the g'day from the same Darkroom Door set and attached it to a black card base. Was going to just have it all white but I think I like the contrast of the black.
This must be the first card in months I have not coloured  my image and I glad I tried something different.

    Wow, this is stunning! What a stylish and dramatic design. It reminds me of old posters with beautiful typefaces and monochrome colour palettes - it looks absolutely great! Love it! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

    This is a very cool design! Love the crisp black and white and the silhouette of the opera house really works with the text background. Thank you for sharing with us at Less is More :)

    Having been fortunate to visit Australia and stay in Sydney this reminds me so much of my visit. Fantastic bold card but retaining its CASness.

    This is so bold, fresh and impactful Jeanette. Beautifully crisp stamping and you were definitely right to go with monochromatic on this one. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx

Gerda Steiner June/July Challenge

Gerda's  June/July Challenge Watermelon Kid Gerda is having a summer break so we have two lovely images for latest challenge . I have coloured both but this is the only one to make it on to a card. Hopefully will get the next one done before the cut off date. Watermelon is such a happy summery image and just screamed to be coloured in bright colours. As we are in winter down here in Australia was nice to think of warm weather. Kept it simple and coloured with my favouites, copics, and am happy with it. The sun is  from a set by Verve  (currently out of stock) but was just  right  for this scene. The sentiment is from the same set. The boy is layered and fussy cut as well as the sun, then mounted with dimensional tape on white card. I then added it to a blue card base. Copics: Skin E000,11,13,R20 Hair YR21,E25,35,37,77 Shirt Y06,08,15 Pants B95,97,99 Watermelon G14,28,R000,24,Black Multiliner pen 0.1

Gerda Steiner August Challenge.

Image
Best Buds Freebie challenge. This image from Gerda this month is just so cute and I have kept the card simple to show it off. I used a background like this for an ATC I did last week and liked it so much I am using it again. This time I added the moon and some grass diecuts and love the finished card. The image is coloured with copics and the sky is brayered with a Kaleidacolor ink pad in blue breeze. It makes such a beautiful night sky. The stars are so easy to do with a white gel pen. Just add different sized dots and voila, a lovely night scene. The image was fussy cut and added using dimentionals and the sentiment was stamped in white ink with an old alphabet set from Making Memories.  Copics:  Dog: E55,57,W10, white gel pen for tail. Mouse: N1,3,5,W10,RV000, freckles white gel pen..
