Red, white and blue

A new month and a new challenge at Less is More - this week it is a colour challenge, and the colours are Red, White and Blue - in recognition of the 4th July - Independence Day in the USA.

This week I have been making several cards for Fathers' Day, which we celebrate in September here in Australia, but I have been making them early to give to my daughter, for her two girls'  school fete in August, to help raise money for their school.


This is one of the cards I made, which just happened to be in Red, White and Blue!  It is a 4" x 4" square card, the sail boat die is by Poppy Stamps, and the frame is cut with Lil' Inker stitched squares.  The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! set called Crazy About You stamped in Versafine Onyx Black.  Very simple, and very CAS I thought!

    A great masculine card Ann and love your use of the colours - the nautical theme works brilliant with Red, white and blue every time.
    Thanks so much for sharing and taking part.

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...

You should have arrived here from  Angela's  amazing blog but if you didn't and want to start at the beginning, just click on the SBB blog link above and start again!   Here is this month's gorgeous mood board, to inspire you!  It may be the butterflies, the colours, the designs - whatever takes your fancy!  I love using butterflies in my cards, so I was very happy with this challenge!  I was inspired by the idea of drifts of butterflies and those lovely pink colours! To create my stencil for the background butterflies, I punched from acetate a small butterfly using a Martha Stewart punch, and sponged the negative space with Distress Inks - either Spun Sugar or Worn Lipstick, movin...
