The Less is More Challenge the next fortnight is: Big and small. And as it's so so cute, I also entered it into the "cute" challenge at AAA Birthdays, I forgot to play along earlier or made something cute but not a birthday card. Anyway for my card I used the C.C. Designs stamp called Kitty with chicks, I like it for a miriad of occasions, I don't just see Spring and Easter, but friendship and birthday too. I stamped the image and sentiment from My Favorite Things ( bitty birthday wishes) with Versafine ink and then colored it with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I've used Spectrum Noir pencil paper and cut it into a panel and adhered it on the cardbase.

For this week's Wednesday Challenge, over at Simon Says stamp, which is: Anything Goes, showcasing Impression Obsessions. I made this card with the sentiment from Impression Obsession C17253, I thought it would go very well with the Stamping Bella Caterpillar Eb834, that reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. I stamped both image and sentiment with Extreme Black ink from My Favorite Things and colored the image with Spectrum Noir Markers. I've used the Crafter's Companion marker paper and added the panel after coloring to a cardbase with tape runner. Simple but fun.

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: add a sentiment, showcasing Hero Arts Products. For my card I used a circle mask/stencil to apply Distress ink Cracked Pistachio and then laid the Hero Arts Bold Floral stencil on top and applied Evergreen Bough ink, It's a reverse stencil and the circle only allows a small part of it, but I still like the lacey effect it gave. Then I stamped the dog from the Hero Arts set called Diamond in the ruff with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. The sentiment I also stamped in Versafine Clair ink but it's from the Whimsy Stamps set called Adopt don't shop cats. There's also a dog version, but I don't have it yet.

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is: Frame it. For the card I've diecut many Simon Says Stamp Fern Squares from white cardstock, then glued one on top of the other, which was, quite frankly, a bit of a pain in the you know what...too delicate, but I made it,not perfect, but I focused ont he fern, then the rest sort of followed. I then diecut another fron a panel,one cm smaller than the cardbase, traced the opening onto the cardbase and applied Distress Oxides in the opening ( Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough and Mowed Lawn). I thought both the matting and the stacked
fern square would be nice frames. I stamped the Gefeliciteerd from Carlijn Design (Elegante Verjaardag) with Versafine Clair ink. For more information on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge , see this.
This fortnight the AAA Cards Challenge is: One corner and Love those older supplies. It is Lucie's Choice. Our Sponsor is Uniko and you could win an in stock stampset. For my card I've used two older supplies, the Uniko, All Occasion Sentiments #6 and the little hedgehog from Penny Black, Not sure how old it is, but it was one of my first stamps and is still woodmounted. I stamped the Hedgehog with Extreme Black ink and the sentiment from Uniko with Versafine Clair ink. Coloured the image with Spectrum Noir Markers and mounted the Crafter's
Companion Neenah paper with taperunner to the cardbase. For more information or to play along the AAA Cards Challenge, see this. I'm entering the card into the ATCAS challenge: cake
The new Less is More Challenge is: More but still CAS. For my card I've used the Funny Cats from Modascrap and stamped them in a rainbow fashion. The sentiment is from the same set and I 've used Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, the colours are Card Deco inks. Pretty simple, I have nothing else to say about it lol...

This fortnight our challenge is Up to 1/3 and the twist is to use hearts. the theme was chosen by Asa. Our Sponsor is Stamplorations and you could win .... For my card I cut a circle out of stencil material. my cardbase would fit a little more than 3 as far as I can tell, it's a little harder with a circle, but I'm confident it is 1/3 or less. I'm applying Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxides through the circle and a hearts circle. For my image I'm using a Gerda Steiner stamp (Valentine Penguins) and I've colored it with Spectrum Noir markers, mounted it with foamtape and applied it to the card.
The sentiment is from the same set and I've stamped it with Versafine Clair ink. For my second card I've used a digi from our sponsor Stamplorations, it's called RoseBlooms and coffee. I've printed it with my laserprinter, so it's waterproof onto watercolourpaper. The sentiment is from Sizzix and I stamped it with Versafine, I've coloured the image with Talens Ecoline and added Nuvo Shimmer pen on some of the blooms. I'd like to enter the Pneguin card into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge : all loved up, it's as Valentiny as it gets in my house haha.

This fortnight the challenge at Less isMore is : Less (tiny and few). This cactus image is one of the smallest in the set, so I hope it qualifies. I stamped the image and sentiment from My Favorite Things (let's stick together) with Extreme black ink and coloured it with Tri Blend Markers.
That's it...feels simple...lol Happy 9th birthday to the Les sisMore Challenge! For more information on the Less is More Challenge, see this.
