Less is More Challenge: Birthdays and DT Call

 The Less is More Challenge is back! with their 11th Birthday celebration and a DT call.

I think I have plenty of DT work, but if you're interested go ahead, it's a great challenge if you love CAS. I was tempted though, not gonna lie ;-)

For my card I cut an opening into masking paper and then applied Distress inks: Mermaid Lagoon and Twisted Citron. I started with Tumbled Glass, but I thought it was too pale so I went over it with Mermaid Lagoon; Splattered with water and metallic watercolor

splatters.

For my image Ive used Scrapbook Forever (Panda's) and the sentiment is from Clearly Besotted ( Tiny Type). I was coloring the panda last night, just for fun and I thought it was perfect or she was perfect for this card ;-). I've used Graph-it Brush markers for it.

Adhered the panda on top with Foam tape.

AAA Birthday Challenge #34 February: Pattern

 This month we play with Pattern, the challenge was chosen by Nonni.

For my card I rummaged through my patterned paper and I found this pretty , almost watercolor looking flower paper. It had some kind of shiny elements, like it was heat embossed, not sure you can see it on the photo.

I cut a strip from the cardstock, matched it to  pink and orange cardstock. Just to give it  more contrast I  added the darker pink, with only the orange cardbase it would looks bland. 

Adhered everything  with tape runner to the cardbase and stamped the Happy Birthday with Versafine ink. It is from the Simple

Sentiment Strips set by Whimsy Stamps.

AAA Cards Challenge #208: Color scheme: Black, White +1

 This fortnight the theme of Black and White + 1 was Chosen by Asa, Ceal and former DT  lady Arlene.

It's close to Valentine's day, but I don't do Valentine's card so a little nod to it only.

I diecut the Simon Says Stamp Heart of Flowers from a card panel, on the cardbase I applied Distress inks Fired brick.

My sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Tiny Type and I stamped in it black Versafine ink.

Whimsy Stamps Highlight Penguins Loves his Kittens

 This week I showcase this cute and amazing digi from Crissy Armstrong: Penguin loves his kittens.

You may or may not know I am crazy about cats, Had 2,now just one and seeing all the kittens on social media, just makes me broody . That's where the sentiment came from. I twisted the good old saying  Smitten like a kitten into what I thought was more me ;-). 

I printed the image onto Copic Friendly paper and colored it with alcohol markers.

As my printer tends to print on a slant, I trimmed the card into a panel and mounted it on a cardbase.

You can find the digi in the Whimsy Shop:   https://whimsystamps.com/collections/crissys-digis-by-crissy-armstrong/products/penguin-loves-his-kittens-digital-stamp
