And my Summertime Surprise Candy (closes 14 June) can be found here
So, on to this week's LESS IS MORE challenge and it's a colour theme, sort of - Monochrome! I've made two cards - one is definitely more less than the other one! Here's the first:
Using two Tim Holtz stamps, masking technique, and a Woodware tiny greetings stamp, all stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa - the photo doesn't show the lovely chocolately brown very well.
And the second:
There is a school of thought that character stamps don't work well for either LIM or Monochrome but I think this fabbie little Laurence Designs bunny really does prove that theory wrong (or am I totally deluded?). Stamped in Danube Blue Memento ink and painted in Faded Jeans Distress Ink. Central border stamp is an old unmarked one, no idea where I even got it from but it may have been Lakeland when they did craft stuff. Sentiment and little flower are Hero Arts, again in Danube Blue. The matting card is Coordinations and IRL it tones in much better than the photo shows. Corner punch for final detail.
That's it for me for today (promise) so I'm off to chop some onions. Anyone got any goggles I can borrow?
Hugs, Sxx

Two fantastic cards, Squirrel! I love monochrome:-)! All the stamps you used work very well in the first card, and your bunny is totally adorable and works perfectly well for LIM AND monochrome! The shades of blue are gorgeous! Have a lovely weekend! Hugs Delphine xx

ReplyDeleteGreat pair of cards. The first one is terrific fabulous card. Not quite so excited by the second but what a change of styles! XOXO Zoe
ReplyDeleteThe bunny is perfect (I'm a total bunny nut) great for this card!!
ReplyDeleteSquirrel, you have two great cards here. I think I'm more partial to the first card...and I do love the bunny, but I think he's so cute that you could have just stamped him directly on the card and added the sentiment at his feet!
ReplyDeleteMy card is HERE
Love them Squiz - especially blue bunny. Jx
ReplyDeletesuch cute cards. I love the blue bunny rabbit
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards and so different. The map is definitely my fave. xx
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful cards - I really like the cocoa colour stamping, a great masculine card. For me though, it has to be the cute bunny. Lynn x
