Less is More Challenge #403

Hello and happy Saturday.  It's time for a new challenge over at Less is More and this time we want to see you use metallic on your card. This could be metal objects, metal colours, foiling etc.  I have used some silver embossing powder for my metallic look!

We are sponsored again by the very generous Funky Fossil Designs.

Sarah has some beautiful stencils and stamp sets!

For my card today I used a dotted stencil and inked up the side of my card panel with versamark ink and used some silver embossing powder.  The flower is from Catherine Pooler Designs and I cut it out with my scan n cut and popped it up with some dimensional tape.  The sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers.

Our very generous sponsor is Skull and Cross Buns.

For my card today I have used the cute "Trouble in a Tutu" stamp set from Clearly Besotted.  I coloured in the images with Zig brush markers and cut them out with my scan n cut.  I found this film strip die cut in my stash from a crafty visit with my friend Tristan and thought it would be perfect for my dancing hippo's.

I'll add a sentiment to the inside of the card when I decide who the recipient will be!

Less is More Challenge #399

Hello, it's time for a new challenge over at Less is More and this time we want you to celebrate!

Our theme is Celebrations so for my first card I have used the big bold Celebrate sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays "Shenanigans" stamp set.  I stamped the sentiments in black and stenciled some balloons using the Neat & Tangled Balloons Duo stencil.

My second card uses the Celebrate die from Catherine Pooler Designs and some alcohol ink pieces.  I recently purchased some of the pearl inks and I've been playing around with them.  I tend to go overboard and don't know when to stop so I have a lot of pieces that are only good for die cutting! I used a balloon die from Clearly Besotted.

I have used a "not yet released" stamp set from Altenew that I received at the recent Altenew workshop held in Melbourne, Australia.  I inked it up with "It's a girl" CP ink and stamped once then stamped it again without re-inking which gives the lighter colour of pink.  I stamped the sentiment with a pale grey ink.
