One Layer at Less is More

The theme for the one layer challenge at Less is More this week is 

New Beginnings

Here is a simple, but oh so cute image from Squigglefly. It's coloured with Spectrum Noir pencils. It seems quite a good medium for one layer cards, as there is no bleeding of colour through to the inside of the card. The sentiment is computer generated.

This is also coloured with Spectrum Noir pencils... it's a very old stamp bought second hand on eBay, with a Clearly Besotted sentiment.

More clearly Besotted stamps here, with a frame embossed with a Simon Says Stamp stitched square die.

Stampin' Up stamps here with a little embellishment in the form of Memory Box doves.

I just love Bugaboo images and again this is coloured with Spectrum Noir pencils. The sentiment is computer generated.

I went to visit Anne's (LIM Designer) new house this week. She has done remarkably well especially as she is downsizing and it's such a difficult job to imagine what might fit into a new space. I think she's going to be really cosy and comfortable  in her new home... especially once she's got her craft space organised!

New Job

A friend of mine is responsible for organising greetings cards for members of staff at her school and for some time has been asking me to make them. She ordered 15 cards the other day and this is one of them.
I took my inspiration from last week's 3 Squares challenge at "Less is More" and used my Baroque Border SU Stampin wheel, which I stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in gold. I then cut out three squares from the strip with square Nesties.
Mounted on white then black, the edges being punched with my Fiskars Upper Crest border punch... I love this punch!
The sentiment was made on the computer.
We've been away since Friday, so I've been blogging on the hoof as it were, but we'll soon be home again so I can get back to my desk!
