Birthday card

I had to make a card for my great nephew, so I thought I would use the 3 squares for the Less is More challenge, I think it's OK, but I know there are lessons and hints to be learned so here it is.  It may be too fussy for a CAS card.

I have made squares out of shapes in PS and backed them with Summer Driggs Sweetcake papers, I then printed and cut them out, Stickled them, tried them in all shapes then decided, by accident after speaking to SIL about the card, on cutting them interconnecting.  I then arranged the text on the card hoping to get it at the right angle, I was glad I hadn't stuck the squares together before printing the text, it's only just in the middle of the squares, I then 3d the cupcake and stickled.

Another award!

Wow another award, I am overcome that "lil ole me" who is so new to blogging has an award again this time  from Mass of Hair especially as she does amazing things and definitely thinks outside the box, thank you.  As I have previously added this award before please refer to the details there.

Love is in the air!!

I have been finishing off the insides of the cards I've made and visiting all the Less is More 3 square challenge cards, I can't believe so many have been made already, I haven't even thought of mine.

However I did take this lovely photo of some pigeons in a lovely cuddle, my son tells me I need a doctor!!!

Get Well

I bought this stamp in aid of  "Doctors without Borders" and I am entering it into GuyLou's Inimitability Digi stamp challenge on CDAC.  The sketch I followed is a Sparkle Designers Sketch #206

 

The papers are by SugarplumPaperie the hands of the clock I got from Scrappin Cop and the watch face is by bellesprintables.  The stamp is by GuyLou as I explained previously, I 3D the image and a bit of silver Stickles for the clock hands and the stethascope.

Blogging

I haven't been on the puter today, but had to log in to see all the cards in the Less is More challenge.  I seem to spend more time on other peoples blogs and looking at their fab cards than concentrating on the 2 I HAVE to do by tomorrow, I love how quickly I can do cards sometimes and others it takes me hours and hours, so I am going to have a look at some colour combintions to see if they can put a bit of sense to all the ideas I have had from so many visits to blogland.

I have made one, you know I always say I can't stamp, well I have stamped this with a Docrafts stamp and Brilliance multicolour ink I have had for years and years.

I actually stamped the centre with a frame and scroll by Audrey J Roberts

Digi stamp

I decided to make a CAS card and saw this digi by Sugar Creek among my files, I hope I have done it justice, the ribbon and flowers are exactly the same colour althought the photo says otherwise for some reason.

I have coloured it PS as usual, then decoupaged and added 3d gloss to the centre of the flowers.

After Advice

After tons of advice from some very talented ladies on Less is More, I have redone the card, I think it IS better, whether I have put the sentiment in the right place is another thing, but I am much happier with it.

I forgot to add to my first card I think this represents Spring as it is a new birth and Spring is about  new birth of plants and animals.

I have also made another of a beautiful Photoshop brush, I hope I've placed it in the correctly, I added Stickles to add a bit of interest and a knot of ribbon, I think it needed it..
