This week Chrissie & Mandi at "Less Is More" challenged us to a one layer card and stripes.....
I had fun with this one...and the idea's just kept coming...
that being said...I made 3 cards.....
the first is my elephant birthday card......
the stripes are from a SU set called "So Happy"....they reminded me of a circus tent....
so that is how the elephant came into mind....
.the stamp is one of the $1 Michael's stamps I seem to be "collecting" lately.....
I added stickles to the balloons to give the card a bit of "bling"....
the sentiment is a Hero Arts...
the second card is using a new Paper Studio embossing folder I just bought....
Hobbylobby had them for 40% off...so for $3 I couldn't resist.....
the folder is actually a "notebook paper"...but I just left some of it off.....
it reminded of a white picket fence.....
and what is a fence without a cat walking along it...right??
this is just a little thank you card using an old 1991 stamp from Marks of Distinction....
the sentiment is from SU.....
My last card is using those Martha Stewart craft stencils I had a post on earlier......
I looked at this one as a "stripe" of leaves.....the flower was just overstamped and it is also a $1 stamp from Michael's...
the sentiment is from Flourishes....
the ink I used is from SU..Certainly Celery~Old Olive and my new favorite Poppy Parade...
I think this is all from me for this challenge...thanks for looking!!!
Gorgeous cards all of them but the second one is extremely clever and creative....loved it to bits
ReplyDeleteThree super cards - looking forward to topping up my supplies of Michaels $1 stamps next week!
