I embossed my background using a star stamp. I coloured my Lawn Fawn birds with polychromo pencils, die cut them out and popped them up with foam tape. The sentiment is also embossed.

Less Is More #398 - OLC Spots

Hello! It's time for a new challenge at Less Is More! We would like you to create a ONE LAYER CARD using our theme of  Spots.

I've made two cards for you:

Card #1

I was inspired by something I saw on pinterest. A piece of spotty fabric used on a card to create a gift.

I traced around the inside of a square die, then randomly stamped my spots (from HLS). I then used a black pen to create the outside of the box and the bow.

Card #2

I used my new MFT stamp set to create this one layer card. I stamped the deer, coloured him with polychromo pencils, then lastly added his spots with a white gel pen.

We have a wonderful Guest Designer joining us this fortnight - Maria Rodriguez!

Inkspirational Challenge #189 - Garden

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at Inkspirational. I hope you will play along.

To be honest, I struggled with this challenge. I tried a number of cards trying to reflect garden. In my garden, we have a variety of native plants and lot's of flowers. We also have quite a lot of wildlife - kookaburras, wallabies, etc. I also own 2 Indian Running ducks that roam around the yard. We even have snakes at times... So, I was going to create an Australian themed garden card but nothing worked :( 

I went with a good old flower. Even though it's winter in Australia, where I live the temperature doesn't get too cool so everything flowers all year around.

Here is my card -

I embossed the flower and leaves (from CAS-usal Fridays) and coloured them with my Zig watercolour markers. I also embossed the sentiment and die cut it with a banner die. I popped everything up with foam tape. The background is a cover die which is really pretty.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges -

I stamped this fella using the Gull Gang set from Create A Smile. I coloured him with my new polychromo pencils so this was my first attempt at using them. The sentiment tells the story...

Inkspirational #188

Hi everyone! It's time for a new challenge over at Inkspirational. We have a photo to help inspire you over the next two weeks.

Here is my card -

I used the STAMPlorations CityGirl stamp set to try and recreate the funky design in the photo. I paper pieced her dress then masked her so I could stamp the background in a softer colour. The sentiment was stamped in black for contrast.

Here is our photo -

I hope to see you over at the challenge blog.
