LIM 21 - Card 2

I thought I'd do another card for this week's challenge over at the Less is More Challenge blog -this time I decided to use my own background paper that I made for a Freebie available in my previous post . I die cut the hearts from some lovely hunkydory card and then put them in an embossing folder with a rose on it ( I can't remember the name of it sorry).. embossing the roses on the middle heart and just leaves on the smaller ones. I sanded the hearts lightly revealing the white core of the card.. The sentiment is foiled. oh... here is the card....

Thanks for visiting
See you soon...

26th June ~FREEBIE~

Today I have made a background paper for you to print and use how ever you like. I love Roses and they are everywhere you look at the moment.. Here is the backing paper.. it measures A5 (8 x 6") approx print size.

Although the background is pink... it can easily be changed in any graphics program. Plus, if you want it to be a little less bold, try printing it out using the 'draft' setting on your printer options.
I have printed this out using normal and draft for the two cards I have made. I am not totally happy with the cards as they just wouldn't go right for me, I have an enormous headache and I think it's messing with my cardmaking mojo Lol.. anyway, I will share them anyway, so here are the two card examples using the Freebie background. The first one with the dragonfly is with the normal print.. and the second one with the mice is one I printed out on draft.. it is much paler. The dragonfly is a rubber stamp from the Sparkle and Romance collection that I designed for Joanna Sheen.

I hope you find this useful and inspiring in some way and I really would love to see any projects you make using the Rose Background..

Are you enjoying the weekend?.. the weather has turned very hot here - I think I might be melting!!!

Sunday 12th June ~FREEBIE~

Hi everyone,

Thankyou for all your wonderful comments on last week's image. I am thrilled that so many of you like the birdhouse... and it's just fantastic to see how some of you have used it so Thankyou for sharing.

This week I have TWO free images for you as my way of saying Thank You for your support and very kind comments. Here is your free digital image to colour in today - a Chaise Lounge

Here is a card that I made using this Chaise Lounge..
I used a deep edge martha stewart punch for the edge..one black and one patterned paper..layered over each other. The lovely kittens were printed and cut out from the 'IVORY CATS' CD rom from Joanna Sheen Ltd.. and I used promarker pens and a glitter pen to colour the image.. adding gems in a few spots.

... and here is your 2nd FREEBIE this Sunday.. something different... a Background image

I painted this years ago and it just sits in a draw getting dusty... so I thought.. why not share it and see what others can create with it. Ideas can be to use - Fairie stamps or print outs.. character stamps tilda, messy rabbit, forever friend bears, other digital characters...etc... lots of flowers maybe...birds... anything goes! Lol
I haven't made a card yet (I have been very busy)..so I will post one as soon as I have.. in the meantime, please have fun with it.
Hugs and have a great weekend everyone
