Humour!

The theme this week a Less is More is 'Humour'. This kind of card can be quite problematic, but there are several companies whose images are perfect for this subject.

This one is from Bugaboo and is such fun!

I coloured it with Copics and added a little paper from Pink Petticoat.

This card uses an image from Acid Drops and Whatnots and I love the stamps, reminiscent of the period of Jeeves and Wooster!

Those of you who know me of old know of my predilection for chickens and the Penny Black variety are just awesome. This card is made from a part image from Chicky Night, I masked out a couple of the girls for this one and made the sentiment on the computer arranging it so that it would fit into the Die cut from my new Clearly Besotted You Said It die collection.
Have a great weekend everyone!

New dies

My lovely friend Sherry kindly sent me some PTI dies and stamps and I had to have a play with some of them.

Here is a PTI die-cut mounted on a piece of music manuscript card which was cut into three sections.

The tag is from Lili of the Valley!
Simples!

It's for the Paper Players challenge this week.

Here is another PTI die-cut, mounted over a Stampin' Up image, with a Spellbinder scroll beneath it. I did wonder whether to use the technique where the word is stamped over too, but decided that I wanted it to show up a little more.

I find this one quite pleasing!

Cats and Dogs

The theme at Less is More this week is Cats and Dogs...what fun!

This little chap is from Penny Black, coloured with Copics, with a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

Another simple card! The cats were a stamp which I bought many moons ago on eBay, it needs to be stuck onto an acrylic block with a Pritt Stick, but works well enough.

The mounting is from Stamping Up and the sentiment from There She Goes clear stamps.
I'm adding this to the ABC challenge of Wedding or Anniversaries

As you may tell from these cards, I'm more of a cat person than a doggy one, this one is mainly die cuts from Memory Box. Sentiment from Paper Smooches.

There's a version of this one without the watermark, (which obliterates the sentiment) on the Less is More blog. I doctored a Paper Smooches sentiment stamp to create this one... details are on the LIM blog.

Here he is again!

This is Magnum, I love this fun cat... not a lot of white space on this one, but a plainish backdrop!
The sentiment is computer generated in Fabulous 50's.
I've been having lots of my trouble with my laptop playing silly kids and going slowly or completely refusing to operate at all. Sadly sorting these kind of problems is not my forte, but I'm just grateful that it has decided to operate again... I don't know if it was because of anything that I did or didn't do, but long may it last!
Have a great weekend.

Bloom

CASology has the challenge with BLOOM on the cue card this week!

This is one of my favourite dies...Poppies from Memory Box, it's such an elegant shape!

Simple embossing (I think from Craft Concepts) and a touch of bling, a length of ribbon and it was done.

It's more by coincidence, but this seems to fit the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches
So I'll enter it for that too!
