Another Less Is More - and this time it's the right size!

Not wanting to be the one to upset Chrissie and Mandi over at LESS IS MORE, and I know I was being cheeky in entering my slighty squatter "tall and thin" card, I've been a good little Squirrel today and made one the right size


This is definitely tall and thin - 8x4 - I've used a Molly Blooms stamp that was a freebie, painted with distress inks to try and tone in with that lush purple, blue and gold retro paper.  Sentiment is once again Hero Arts.

And while we are on the subject of tall and thin, I made myself a new bookmark this afternoon too - I've used one of the Hanglar & Stanglar "Attitude" girls, and she's distress inked.  Had a bit of bother with her hair but I think it is passable now.  Papers are Little Sizzlets and so yummy, shame I'm nearly out of them now.  I have laminated her now but took the photo beforehand so you didn't get the glare.


There will be no mistaking my books now!

Hugs, Sxx

    Squirrel...your tall and thin card is fabulous! I love your bookmark too. I have a Kindle now, so I don't really use bookmarks anymore. I guess I forget that. Bookmarks would make a great gift idea too!
