"Less is More" - Take Three Challenges

Today would have been my old Mum's birthday. She was a lovely lady and had she lived would have been 103 today, but after living a full life she died aged 92. Bless her, what wonderful memories we have of fun times together.

I think it was from her that I inherited my love of making things. She made my clothes, both knitted and sewn and in later life learned to do the most amazing, intricate crochet work. A really talented lady!
Anyway, here are my offerings for "Less is More" this week where the challenge is to combine any three of our previous challenges.
You can see which challenges I combined on the challenge blog... but all I need to say here is that I love white on white. I think that this would be a good choice for an engagement, a wedding or an anniversary.

This one uses a stamp set given to me for my birthday, by my lovely buddy Mandi. Once more you can see the challenges I combined on our  "Less is More" blog, but one obvious challenge was using ink!
Several people have asked what exactly this stamp set is .
It's from Katzelkraft and the reference is KTZ74
Do check out the blog and come and join us, even if CAS hasn't been your thing in the past, do give it a try... you may even enjoy it!

New Home

This is just a quickie as I've been struggling to do something all day and getting inkier and inkier and still not getting anywhere, so I'm taking a break and I'm popping out to deliver a New Baby card.
This is for the sketch challenge at The Friday Mash Up. I intended adding some dry embossing and forgot all about that, so except for the tiny bit around the Nestie, it's conspicuous by its absence!
I'm off!

Holidays

Here is one of Arielle's images from the Wax Fruit Company... I just love her images. This is simply coloured using Distress Inks with a sentiment from Darkroom Door.
I simply stamp an inkpad onto my glass mat which I then use as a palette and pick up the colour with a water brush. Easy Peasy!
I'm at my daughter's ready to babysit my grandson Seb tomorrow and to take and collect my granddaughter Daisy to and from Nursery. I shall be tired by this time tomorrow! Next week will be the last time I have to make the trip as Sebastian will be starting Nursery on Wednesdays whilst my daughter is at work, from September onwards.

Things that Move -Less is More!

At our challenge at "Less is More" this week we would like to see something that moves!

This could be literal or figurative... for my card there's a little of both!

This one has images of butterflies, which in reality can move and the cut out butterfly is only attached under its body and so the wings are able to move a little!

The second one (I apologise for the dreadful picture) has a small charm which is able to move from side to side, plus the image is of baby carriages which in reality are also able to move.

Do join us in our Clean and Simple challenge and see what you can make that can move!!!
