Framed fern

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.

AAA Cards Challenge #158, up to 1/3 + hearts, with video

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.

Less is More: tiny and few

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!
