Less is More - Week 16

The theme over at the Less is more challenge blog for this week is - Butterfly / Butterflies...

Today is my Birthday and my friend gave me nestabilities lables 20 for one of my pressies... they are really pretty so I had to use them on the card for this week's challenge.
Here is my card for this week....
...as you can see I used the long side of the die to cut the top of the card creating a pretty edge. My cuttlebug had no problem cutting through the two layers of card together. I did this by slipping the cutting edge at the top of the card and the rest of the die behind the folded card... I taped it in position with low tack tape to keep it in place.
The butterfly stamp is one that I have had for years - a gift from another friend. ... and of course the flowers are from Joanna Sheens pressed flower stamps...I used promarker pens to colour them in... I started with the full rose, masking that to stamp the second... I masked that one too.. and carried on with masking as I went to build up to look of roses in a basket. The basket is a piece of beautiful textured wallpaper.
.. Well that's it for now, I might be temped to do a few more cards for this challenge as I love butterflies... well, who wouldn't.. Lol

Less is More Challenge -Week 14

Over at the Less is More Blog this week it's a colour challenge - White on White.... Cool!.. it's not something that I have done myself that often but I love seeing it onother blogs. So I have really enjoyed making these two cards for this weeks submissions.

Here's the first card.
I used the Sizzix chandelier embossing folder running through my cuttlebug straight onto the card but leaving the top part off. It was easy to use my glue pen to add some glamour dust over the embossed parts. I foiled sentiment in satin silver and used my embossing board to add straight lines to match the image. The bow finishes it off. Honestly it was so easy I really recommend this folder to everyone for a quick and glam card.

Here's my second card for the challenge.. it was a bit fiddly and I nearly gave up... but I am a stubbord girl as once I start I have to finish..Lol... so here it is..
I embossed the lines for the 'floor' using my score board, then cut out my snuggle birds and embossed them using the freebie folder with the latest issue of Docrafts Creativity Magazine. I cut out 3 of the Tim Holtz bird cage dies from a thicker white card which looks a different kind of white. I curved 2 of the cages to create dimension and cut away part of the front one to make a door opening... the door was created using the 3rd die. I was going to add flowers but decided to keep it simple so added some flower patterned lace inside the cage with a few butterflies to add movement. I couldn't resist adding some white flat backed pearls where I could... after all it is an Anniversary card Lol

Thank you for visiting this week and many Thanks to Chrissy and Mandi for such inspiring challenges and the chance to see so many bloggers creating such beautiful cards.

Ballerina card in Pink

Here's the Best Friends digi stamp coloured in pinks and browns this time.
I used pro marker pens and added some stardust pen to their frills and accents and then added some white gel pen over their legs to give the look of lace tights. I made the rose and punched the other flowers using a Martha Stewart punch. I also made the little sliders. I couldn't resist adding tiny little gems as a trail to the butterfly. the papers are from Papermania Summer bloom 12 x 12 paper set.

Come back on Sunday to fine info about a very special challenge to raise funds for a very special little boy.
