Less is More #469 - Colours

 Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Less is More. It's a colour challenge and we are celebrating Christmas in July.

Here is my card -

I used a Stampin' Up! set called Wishes and Wonders. I stamped the sleigh and sentiment, coloured the image, then added sequins for interest. It's a shame my photo didn't capture it but I coloured the gold part of the sleigh with a glitter pen.

Less is More #465 - Rainbow

 Hi there! It's time for a new challenge over at Less is More.

We are just about to hit Winter here in Australia. Where I live it has been raining for the last two weeks straight. Today is windy and cold even though I live in a subtropical climate. Yuck! There has been major flooding around the state and I hope everyone is keeping safe. 

Here is my card -

I decided to slice up some coloured card then glue those strips to a panel to create a colourful effect. I adhered vellum over the top then added my die cut and heat embossed sentiments.

Less is More #464 - Recipe

 Hi everyone! It's time for a new challenge over at Less is More and for the next two weeks we would like you to -

(apologies for creating the cue card incorrectly - it should say Recipe/Technique)

I decided to go with a coloured card base and create a cute little tag using Lawn Fawn products.

My #2 Grandson just celebrated his 1st birthday. I have made cards for the grandkids but put them away in their own little folders to give them on their 18th birthdays.

So, this card is for William :)

I stamped, coloured my images, and die cut them out. I also die cut some grass and, of course, the tag. I used a stencil for the clouds. It was very easy to assemble once I had everything ready to go :)

I would like to enter my card over at the following challenges -

Cut it Up (Any Animal or Insect), CRAFT (Birthday), Craft Rocket Challenges (Birthday), Make My Monday (Happy Birthday)

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you at LIM.
