This is the last one for today. With this card I’d like to wish you all a wonderful holiday season!

It’s my entry for:

• Smudgy Antics Challenge – December – Anything goes Smeared Ink
• Less is more: choose a previous challenge –> I chose # 121 ‘Humour’
• Daring Cardmakers: this little light of mine
• Craftyhazelnut christmas challenge: any xmas card not shown before

Dare to be different

Here’s a clean and simple 4×4 card I’d like to share with you:

 

It’s my entry for the following challenges:

• The Octopode Factory: circles
• Less is more: 321 (in my case: 3 colours, 2 image stamps and 1 sentiment stamp).

This was also supposed to be my entry for the Stampotique Designers ‘One layer’ challenge , but I’m afraid I missed the deadline. 😦

Stamps used

• 3 in a round by Stampotique
• party hat by Scrolls Work
• sentiment by Stampinback

 

3 flowers and fairy silhouettes

The Less is more challenge focuses on 1 layer cards featuring ‘3 of something’ and the Cheerful Stamp Pad wants to see silhouettes. Here’s a fairy silhouette card featuring 3 flowers and 3 colours of Distress ink (Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Broken China):

 

I decided to create a matching envelope:

Thanks for looking!

Stamps used

• Flowers, fairies: Lavinia
• Sentiment: Quietfire

Card inspired by the Less Is More header

Hurray, there were 5 Saturdays in June and so there’s an extra week in which the Less is More challenge is sponsored by Stampotique!  The challenge this week: take the Less is more header as your inspiration. Here’s my take on the theme:

As you can see, I went with the colours black, white and gold, flourishes, musical notes and a script font for the sentiment.

Stamps used

• Musical notes: All night media
• Flourishes: Crafty Individuals
• Sentiment: Tim Holtz

Twice CAS Stampotique

Less is more wants to see clean and simple cards featuring some paper piecing and this is the last week that they are sponsored by Stampotique, so here’s my card:

I used the paper piecing technique both for the boy’s outfit and for the presents he carries. I made him carry two presents, for I also wanted to enter this card into the current Stampotique’s Designers challenge asking us to stamp the same image twice, but then I remembered that this challenge doesn’t allow any non-Stampotique stamps, so I created another card that fits both challenges:

Again a fairly clean and simple card featuring some paper piecing, this time combined with some acrylic bloc stamping and a computer generated sentiment.

Stamps used

• Boy & presents: Stampotique
• Scratches: Tim Holtz
• Happy Birthday: Fiskars

CAS Flourish

Here’s a Clean and Simple one layer card featuring a flourish for this week’s Less is More challenge:

Stamps used

• Flourish: Crafty Individuals
• Birthday sentiment: Crafty Secrets

Clean and simple

One of the ladies of the yahoo-group ‘Creatief met Stempels‘ challenged us to create a clean and simple (CAS) card focusing on music. I combined this challenge with the CAS-challenge ‘Less is more‘, who wants to see a one layer card featuring stripes.

This card also fits the challenge ‘Music’s in in the air’ set by Irish Teddy’s.

Stamps used

• Stripes: Tim Holtz
• Girl: Art Journey
• Sentiment, G clef: Darkroom door
