Afternoon all - busy day so far, what with Church, shopping, British Grand Prix qualifying, getting dinner sorted and the Tour de France ...... but I managed to sneak in some me time for this week's LESS IS MORE challenge. It's a one layer card challenge with the theme of Something With Legs!
Just to be different, let's start with the second card I made today
FOURTEEN LEGS
Inspired by Chrissy's sponging technique, I used this cute little Sugar Nellie stamp, masked it off with Post-It Notes and with my Ink Dusters did the background with Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks. I've only part coloured the image but that is deliberate. Sentiment is Hero Arts.
AND THE OTHER TWO
This is the card I made first today - it is for a friend of ours who is mad keen on river fishing so I'm not sure if he would celebrate or cry if he actually caught a goldfish that size in our rivers! Wild Rose Studio stamp and a Hero Arts sentiment, image painted in Distress Inks.
Thanks for popping over to visit, I really do appreciate the time you take to come and see me and thank you for all the very kind comments you leave. Once again I apologise for being so behind with my own commenting - I'm trying hard to keep up!

Two fab cards but my fave is the warm fuzzies - I simply LOVE that sentiment!

The first is very cute - I love the way the balloon overlaps the top of that gorgeous sponged background. I like the way you did the sentiment on the second card.

ReplyDeleteBut one question...

Two fantastic cards with great colouring. Love the Ink dusters but couldn't get any so bought some shaving brushes instead and they do a fab job, not as good as the Dusters but will suffice for now.
ReplyDeleteDisappointed about JB's pit lane incident and looking forward to Germany where i hope he will WIN :-)
I love our 2 cards, what great idea's I love your designs x
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are gorgeous, I love the soft background behind the animals:)
ReplyDeleteJenny x
oh these are so cute! think I'm going to have to keep these LIM ideas for future male cards ♥
ReplyDeleteHi hun, what beautiful cards! The colouring in the first is so subtle and delicate, and vibrant in the fishing one which would be perfect for my uncle. I love them both!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments on my poor little upside-down singing situation. I'll post updates as they happen, if you're interested. Mwah!
