Less is More Challenge 314

The Tree of Life

Some-one ask me what is your style the other day and I really had no idea. I tend to make cards of different styles for specific people or a request from some-one. Lately they have been more CAS and I am enjoying the results.  I still struggle a bit doing these cards but the challenges are helping . My first card uses a stamp from Darkroom Door called Trees and the sentiment is from the same set. Used distress inks in blue, green and yellow and stamped the tree over it when it was dry. Used the heat gun as I like the way it moves the colour around and it gives it some nice patterns. Mounted it on a blue card base and one down. The second card is similar but I used green , yellow and orange. The stamp is another Darkroom Door set called Wildflowers Vol 1. They have some lovely sets that are great for this type of card. I adhered the card front to a green piece of cardstock then to a white card base. The cards do look white in real life.




I am entering the Trees into the challenge

    Don't care to be "labelled" myself! This is lovely, perfect idea for the LIM challenge

    Fab cards! The tree and wildflower stamps are lovely and look great against the artistic watercolour backgrounds. Very eye catching and attractive! Wow! This is such an eye catching design! I love the bold geometric shapes and ombre effect of having the panels laid next to each other. Really super! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

Gerda Steiner June/July Challenge

Image
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..
