Take three stamps!

I found a piece of card which I had coloured with the shaving foam technique and thought that the colours were great for trees in new leaf. Spring is just beginning in the UK and the colours on the trees look so fresh and new!
...Like my stamp set here from Simon Says Stamp., I used two of the tree stamps, but I can't remember the make of the sentiment. If I don't write the name of the make on the carrying sheet I often find it difficult to identify some sets. Sorry!
A simple one layer... tulips from an old Hobbycraft stamp and sentiments from Stamplorations. Coloured with watercolour pencils and blended with a water brush, then gently twinkled with Glamour Dust!

"Less is More" has a challenge to use just  three stamps, so these are my renditions this week.
I am helping dog-sit my granddog Minnie for a couple of weeks, whilst my son and daughter-in-law are on holiday in Italy.
Here she is! She has boundless energy and loves lots of chasing around after tennis balls!

  2. Minnie is adorable! <3 She looks a lot better behaved than my two :D I love your cards Chrissie. Just yesterday I was looking at those two tree sets online so it's great to see them in use - they're definitely going on the wishlist now. The second card with the pink and glamour dust looks fab, really tactile and gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration!

  3. A perfect and elegant trio Chrissie. Love those trees / leaves on the first one against that black BG in particular! And OH! What's this ... not a card but a gorgeous little pooch who seems to have done exactly what mine does ... find the sunniest spot inside even if it means clambering on to the furniture! Looking lovely though. Sarah x

  15. Great zingy colours on that first card Chrissie, and the simplicity of the second one is just awesome. Lovely to see you are having some sunshine where you are (from the shadows in the photo). Your grandog is a little cutie.
