It's Sketch time once more at "Less is More" and I have a few cards to show you!
The first one takes the sketch fairly literally and has a background of an Artemio manuscript stamp surmounted by a couple of my new Memory Box butterflies... Pippi and Isabella. I decided to put one black on white and the other white on black.
The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.
This next one has a little more stamping.
Off the Grid and Gorgeous Grunge from Stampin' Up with an SU sentiment and some Dienamics die cut tools on a length of twine.
I'm linking this to the challenge at Addicted to CAS this week with the theme Grunge!
The sketch is not quite so obvious in this one, but I had great fun making it!
I began by cutting the two hearts which are from Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers, Bigz dies.
I then used some Platinum UTEE to add a couple of layers , then sprinkled on a little black and heat embossed that, stamping a deeply etched flourish stamp into the molten powder.
The base circle was cut from three layers of card and embossed in black for a couple of layers and then added just a sprinkling of the Platinum crystals.
I couldn't find my fine detail Platinum embossing powder for the sentiment and gold or silver just wasn't right with the main images, so I mixed up some gold and silver powders together and was really quite pleased with the result.

This last one is the one I popped on the "Less is More" blog.
A Memory box die cut Butterfly Heart, backed with some turquoise card, which was also used for the SU Embosslits additional butterflies.
This one pleases me, I hope it pleases you too!
Love all the cards here, I can't pin down to one, such nice inspirations!

Love all these cards Chrissie - each so different, great interpretation of the sketch. I think my favourite is the butterfly heart though - full of movement.
ReplyDeletebeautiful cards, will get my thinking cap on and see what I can come up with for this challenge :)
ReplyDeleteI love that butterfly hearts die - it is so pretty! Love your dramatic UTEE card too :). Thanks for the inspiration and great sketch - will have to see if I get chance to play this weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous, and truly varied selection of cards, you've created using this sweet sketch! I must try and play along this week, but time is soooo short. Have a great weekend Chrissie and thanks for sharing your creativity yet again! Jo x
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to choose a favourite amongst these - they're all beautiful in their own right.
ReplyDeleteLots of gorgeousness here Chrissie. Love your fabulous hearts and that you made your own e/p. Your "grunge" card would be perfect for our latest challenge at Addicted to CAS where grunge is the theme....we'd love to see you there.

These are all such great cards - I have a soft spot for the 1st one - the clean black and white goes well with the stricter interpretation of your sketch. Cheers, Dianne

You really know how to inspire us, Chrissie! Your cards are absolutely gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful cards, Chrissie. It's difficult to pick a favorite...but the Kraft masculine card really caught my eye. Perhaps it's because I find it difficult to make masculine cards...and this one is so perfect!
ReplyDeletewow wow great cards as always and love the sketch you have done for us this week
