I really got into the colour challenge for Less is More this week and made quite a few once I got going, so for the challenge of Black and White plus a hint of another colour here are the cards I made this week.
A favourite layout of mine, with Pink Petticoat paper and a ribbon coloured with a Copic marker to match.The border punch is from Martha Stewart and the base is embossed with a folder from Craft Concepts. I added a few flat gems to highlight the intersections.
My additional colour here is gold for the trumpet from Darkroom Door, hand-cut and mounted over a panel stamped with a Rollagraph wheel.
The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.
Here is a mere touch of red. the deets of this one are on the LIM blog.
For this one I used a little wrapping paper for the manuscript, a Martha Stewart punch once more for the border and a Darkroom Door sentiment, die- cut with a Stampin' Up framelit die.
More die-cuts here, once again the details are on the LIM blog.
Finally, a simple bit of stamping. The image is by Unity stamps and the sentiment from Personal Impressions. The image together with the sentiment is popped on dimensional tape for a little added interest.
I must try to join in with a few more challenges this year, something that I have sadly been neglecting since the inception of Less is More!
fabulous Chrissie... which Pink Petticoat paper is that... I don't recognise it and I love it !!!

Happy New Year Chrissie! As ever a lovely bunch of cards, that trumpet is fab but my favourite is the last one.
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I found my Little Claire stamp! And I swear I looked dozens of times where I found it, stuck to one of my storage boxes. I found it while looking for a missing tree stamp which has happily also turned up lol.

ReplyDeleteHi Chrissie
ReplyDeleteAgain I wish you a Happy New Year. Thank you very much for your great inspirations and your lovely comments on my blog.
Yes, the coffee I could make also for last Challenge, but I had no time and actually I don't know why I chose this stamp for the current challenge. Probabely thought it's time to use it at first.
Hugs & Thanks

Oh, Chrissie, you have outdone yourself this time! These are all breathtaking!!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a pinterest board set up for the cards you make that I could follow? I'm not seeing a button on your blog. It would save me pinning each card, one at a time! Mwah!
Great selection of cards - thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteChrissi
ReplyDeleteI like your cards. They are beautiful, elegant and masterfully executed. One word perfect.
My goodness you did go for it Chrissie and they're all wonderful! My favourites are the two that appeared on the LiM blog particularly the black and white tiles card. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissie, love all your cards..the thankyou with the pink and black is very striking, lovely theme at LIM! Ruby x
ReplyDeleteAll fabulous of course Chrissy but I love the first one best...I think. All that lovely black embossing looks so dramatic and classy with the strip of PP paper to highlight it, loving the hearts too :) Viv xx
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissie, thanks for the welcome back to LIM :o) Love all your fabulous cards, especially the first one - such a gorgeous design and colour! Hugs, Lisa x
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissie ... thanks so much for such splendid inspiration each week, you really are a star! I so love these last two ... the die cut and insert flower (great tip on d-s tape before cutting ... never thought of that!) and the Unity stamped image with rounded corners diagonally opposite one another ... both just beautiful! Anita :)
