Less Is More ,,,,,

Woo Hoo !! I was showcased on the Less Is more Challenge this week with THIS card :-) ,,, sooo proud ! :-) Thanks Mandi and Chrissi ,,, am thrilled :-)

The challenge this week is a tricky one ,, the dreaded one later with the extra ugh of doodling ,,, definitely not my forte,,, tho I always used to doodle during lectures whilst studying the habit stopped when the studying did :-)



I stared by masking a square in the centre of the card and used a C.C Designs Clouds die cut to mask areas while spraying with a copic air brush and a B 21 copic marker. I then stamped the Hero Arts Hot Air balloon stamp which is is an Away set with achival ink and coloured a little bit with a Memento pink marker, added a tiny little bit of star dust stickles on the ropes and then doodled straight stitches around the square panel to sort of create a window ,,, :-) Not very adventurous doodling I’m afraid ,, the sentiment is from Hero arts too.



Thanks for looking :-) I appreciate your comments so please leave me one Smile

Challenges :-

Less Is More ,,,,, One Layer + Doodling

City Crafter ,,, Just a hint of Pink

Paperminutes ,,, Use your newest stamp ,,, this is one of them ! :-)

  15. Thank you for your comment on my LIM entry Lorraine : )
    Your card is lovely . . . Now why didn't I think of that - a straight edged frame or faux stitching?

  17. Like you, Lorraine, I used to doodle when I was in lectures, many, many years ago, and stopped after I had finished my studies. From being a totally natural activity, I now find it very hard. I do like your card, and your use of doodles. thank you for your visit and very kind comments on my doodling. Have a great week. xx Maggie

  21. wow! Huge congrats on being showcased and what a fabulous card!! :)

    I wouldnt even attempt such a CAS card, I would have to sit on my hands, throw away the die cutter and hide all my glues! lol.

    Gorgeous image, very stylish and great sky background too.
