Lucky Dip week at "Less is More"

This week at "Less is More" we have a Lucky Dip week with a special Guest Designer. We have Rebecca (Melly Moo) as our Guest and the theme is 2 legs or 4!
I have one in each category for you today!
The little bird is from A Day for Daisies, coloured with watercolour pencils and a water brush.
It has a simple frame from SSS dies and a computer generated sentiment.

This little four legged creature is from Clearly Besotted, stamped with Ranger Java Bean dye ink  and die cut with its matching die.
The stitched dies are again from Simon Says Stamp and the tree from MFT, with an embossed sky from Stampin' Up.

My daughter-in-law is the chair of a really worthy charity called Petals, which offers counselling for trauma or loss during pregnancy and birth. Having benefited from their services is the past, it is very close to her heart. She wanted to be involved with me to devise a Thank you card to send to donors of substantial amounts to her charity... we spent the afternoon playing around yesterday... we're getting there but it's not sorted just yet,,..so watch this space!
If anyone feels they would like to contribute to this incredibly worthwhile service, I have added a link, just click here to go to their site.
As promised here it is. This is the card I finished up making!

  4. Both cards are beautiful and CAS (of course!). Love that bird image and the CBS fox is on my wishlist :) I had not heard of Petals before - it sounds like a very worthy charity.

  5. Sweet! The bright splash of blue and yellow just make your bird pop off all the white space. Love the addition of the musical notes! :) And I actually said "Awwww" out loud when I saw your cute forest critter. Fabulous and inspiring cards Chrissie.

    How wonderful that you are helping your DIL make thank you cards for such a worthy organization.

  12. Beautiful Chrissie - both of them. I bought the musical bird when I first saw it on your blog a while ago, as I have a friend who is also in a choir - a great image for her. Love the depth you created with the fox card - layer upon layer - very clever!
