Week 84 At Less is More
It's One Layer Week again at Less is More and this time there is a variation on a theme for the one layer creations, it's
Foliage
I have done my old faithful masking stamping and sponging, I don't make any apology for using this technique yet again as I really love it. Details of how it was done are on the LIM blog.
There are some beautiful leaf stamps available and Stampin' Up's French Foliage as used here, is one of my favourites.
This one fits perfectly with Simplicity's theme of Gratitude this week too
This eucalyptus stamp from Rubber Stampede was inked with three colours of Distress ink before stamping down the side of the card.
The lovely handwritten sentiment is from an Art Impressions stamp.
It seems that summer may have arrived in the UK, we have had some beautifully sunny days in the past week, let's hope it persists.
Daisy started school this week and despite falling down in the playground on the first day and grazing her knee and face, she is loving it.
Have a great week!
Morning Chrissie,
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, the first one is my favourite - I love the colours.

great inking as always - really love the faux LP ones though - I never get mine to come out right when I try it.

Gorgeous cards, I would be hard pushed to choose a favourite from these.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning. Love the blending of the colours. It almost looks like the leaves are blowing in the wind.
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissie, Fabulous cards again, I love them all but the first is so full of depth and colour, yum!! Mine is a little similar to your middle card but I wasn't aware of it as I made it, I hope you will feel it's playing homage to the master!!! :0)
ReplyDeleteYour grand daughter looks really smart and grown up in her uniform, glad she's enjoying it so far, Hugs Gay x
Sweet picture of Daisy! Thank you for sharing her, Chrissie!
ReplyDeleteWhen I got to the end of your post, I had to stop before commenting and go ink up one of my embossing folders to try that out. How cool is that?! I think your cards are inspiring and awesome and thank you especially for sharing that fun tip!!
Thanks for leaving me your comment, I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie, and the cards are fab too!
Happy crafting, Lorry :o) xx
These are all fabulous, I love the embossed inked panel in the first card, the leaves seem to glow with that technique. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards!! Love the colours used on your first one - very autumn!
ReplyDeleteDaisy does look grown up! I had a child fall on her first day of school too - oh the drama! lol bless them!

ReplyDeleteJust lovely - your "masking, stamping and sponging". Motivated me to do it again.

ReplyDeleteLovely mix of designs and stamps on your foliage themed cards.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards especially the first one with the greens and browns. Don't really want autumn to arrive but I do like the colours!!
ReplyDeleteAll three of these are lovely - love the rich colours of the first and that letterpress technique is really amazing - I'll have to try it! Wonderful OLW cards!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely cards Chrissie! I'm a big fan of emboss/resist too and that card is my favourite with those wonderful autumnal colours, but I love the simplicity of the others too. Daisy looks very smart and grown up - so pleased she's enjoying school. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, I have French foilage, feel another card coming on maybe!
ReplyDeleteDaisy looks very grown up for 4 years, so smart too in her outfit.

Three beautiful cards - the colours of the first are wonderful, but I think the breath-catching simplicity of the second and third wins my vote! Thank you for amazing inspiration...
