Less Is More # 6 - OLC Off The Edge

Morning all, how are we today?  Had a lovely lie-in until Mr LardyPaws decided to use me as a trampoline because I am apparently the only one in this house who knows how to serve up his breakfast just as he likes it.  Must be something to do with the way I open the catfood pouch!  If any of you have seen some of the Simon's Cat films (particularly Cat Man Do)you will know just what I mean, lol!

Anyhoo, today, the girls over at LESS IS MORE have a real challenging challenge for us.  It's the One Layer Card week but there is a twist, it carries with it the theme of Off The Edge.  Sneaky.

Now, this made me immediately think of two things, one of which really shows my age - Harry Worth doing his silly moves in the shop window with his arm and leg, and the other is Donkey in the Shrek films "I am a donkey on the edge, don't push me!"  Yeah, I know, but it makes me chuckle every time I see the film.

So here is my card:

I have used this cute little bear stamp called Zoe from FunStamps and painted her with distress inks.  They behaved a bit oddly on this card stock so she's a bit blotchy!  The sentiment is from the Hero Arts clear set called Everyday Sayings.  I used Memento ink to stamp the image and the sentiment.  Have to admit that all that white space freaked me out a little bit!

Edited to add second card (coz I had so much fun with this idea)

Same principal as the first one but used a Forever Friends bear this time, with another Hero Arts sentiment.

Have been working some pretty intensive hours lately so I'm way behind on visiting your blogs, I'm doing my best but sadly there seems to be no respite at the moment.  Hope you will forgive me, and I promise I will get there when I can.

And just before I go, a quick reminder about my CANDY that is running until 31st March - there are two candies on offer, one for UK and one for Overseas, so if you've not got your name down yet, there is still time.

Hugs, Squirrel xx
