This time our theme for One Layer creations at "Less is More" is Fur or Feathers!
I love all the Penny Black chicken and duck stamps, which are perfect for this challenge. I think this one is the cutest!
It's simply stamped and gently coloured with Copics, with the addition of a Hero Arts sentiment.
I'm adding this to Sir Stampalot's monthly challenge, which this time around is 'Flight'!

Here is the adorable ted from Indigo Blu. I used a mask over him to stamp the background in a slightly lighter shade of brown (Early Espresso and Soft Suede). Once more the sentiment is from Hero Arts.
Here is a touch of double stamping without re-inking to make a shadow effect, using a stamp from Unity.
The oval, made by sponging through a Spellbinder's mask, was inked with Almost Amethyst and Bashful blue with a few random splats from the SU French Foliage set added for interest.
One more chicken to conclude this week's samples... I just love them, this time the sentiment is from Personal Impressions.
I finally received my Craft Stamper magazine... it has seemed odd to see several cards submitted to the "Less is More" challenge last week using my stamp which was the freebie on the front cover this month. Thanks you for all the complimentary comments about it.
We have our grandchildren staying this weekend... should be fun.. have a good one everyone!
Excellent ideas, as always, Chrissie. The chicken cards are just fab.

great cards, i love the teddy!
ReplyDeleteI use derwent coloursoft pencils and baby oil instead of sansador..you do get a bit of a grease mark on the back tho. Not sure if you get that with sansador x
Hi Chrissie, super cards as always.
ReplyDeleteI did grin at your comment on my LIM entry about branches needing to be 'anchored' rather than just floating - I knew something didn't seem right to me so thanks for that :)
Hope you had a great time with the little ones.
