Paper Hugs

Back today with a card for Less is More challenge #363 , which is a one-layer card with the theme 'cute'.  Very quick and simple, but I hope cute:)  May give this to hubby in a couple of week's time! Stamp:  Lawn Fawn Sealed with a Kiss Colour:  Prismacolour pencils and Distress Inks, white Signo pen for waves

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...

Back with another challenge at Less is More - this time the one layer card has the theme of Santa - very appropriate as most of us are well into making Christmas cards, aren't we?  For this CAS challenge, I returned to an old favourite stamp of mine, with a little alteration. One of the birds in this little set by Lawn Fawn is wearing a beanie, so I just inked it up below the top of the hat, and added a Santa hat by hand - I'm no artist, but I think this passes (just). Stamp:  Season's Tweetings by Lawn Fawn Card:  Thick whisper white by Stampin' Up! Ink:  SU Early Espresso, Versafine Onyx Black Colour:  Inktense Pencils by Derwent

Hi there!  This week at Less is More , it is a one-layer challenge, with the inclusion of an animal!  Lots of choice there, but I opted to use a new to me stamp, by Lawn Fawn, called 'Hedgehogs". These cuddly little critters look great however you place them on a card, but I did want to make the background a little more interesting, so sponged a Heidi Swapp stencil with DI, and a little hill to ground them, with the simple sentiment left clear at the top.  Some hearts to go with the hugs, and a little Copic colouring finished this off. I've just been made aware of the challenge at AAAcards , which might suit my card, so will be entering there too!  Thanks for the tip, Sarah!
