Less is More: Challenge #347 - Sketch 21

It's been awhile since I've linked up to a sketch or colour challenge...but this sketch from Less is More inspired me.

Here is the sketch:



and here is the card:


Glitter is so difficult to photograph - it almost has a holographic look to it that I wish showed up more in the photos...



I did tweaked it a little by making the sentiment round - the original quote I wanted to use covered too much of the circles. Otherwise I pretty much followed the sketch. 

I used Ink Road Stamps - Full Circle (love this set!) and because I've been using gold embossing powder way too much I decided to go with something a little less subtle...if glitter counts at subtle? The overlay circle stamps are embossed with WOW - Cloud9 embossing powder and to finish the card off I added a few My Little Paper World sequins.



Thanks for the sketch inspiration Less is More! :)

    This is so feminine and pretty Samantha. You've actually managed to photograph that glitter perfectly! Love how the glittery elements are offset from the circle too, as it adds interest to the layout. Thanks so much for popping this in to us at Less is More xx

    The subtle colours are so soft and pretty. I can just imagine how glittery this card is IRL. The popped up circle sentiment adds great dimension. A Sweet card! Thank you for joining us this week at Less is More. Trina :)

    What a lovely card. I've never heart of The Ink Road Stamps before but this set looks fabulous. Gorgeous use of glitter and our sketch. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x

Growing in Unity: Day 1

Image
Yippee!! After waiting 11 months, 10 days, it's finally my week to share my Unity cards. 5 whole days of inspiration is coming your way...oh! and lets not forget the sponsored giveaway by Unity at the end of my week - a grab bag with 25 random stamps! My first card I decided to use one of my favourite sets - I actually combined two (no, three!) Unity sets that really go well together. How do you use your Unity stamps? Would you mix and match them? When I first starting stamping (15 years ago) the thought of mixing sets would make me cringe - but now... no problems! I think it's a great way to make the most of your stamp collection. Here are my cards using Unity: Tumbleweed Houses , On My Way and Gypsy Journal (sentiment only) I coloured the images using a few of my ZIG brush pens and cut them out with my silhouette (for those who are visiting me for the first time - I try to avoid fussy cutting!) I added a few sewing machine details and adhered the hous...

A Super Quick Card!

Just sharing another card I made (with the help of master 2 1/2yo). Stamp is unity -  Vase with stripes.  C oloured with prisma pencils and gamsol. A super quick card to make as master 2 1/2yo did most of the work. I just added some washi tape, sequins, twine and a stamp I coloured in during the week (for practice)  :) Entered into  ARTastic Inspiration Photo Challenge . Link to Unity Friends with Flair. SSS - Anything Goes Challenge Thanks for stopping by.  Samantha

A Spring Inspired Card...

Image
This week (or should I say the last few weeks) have been super crazy busy! We got good news, my Hubby renewed his work contract with the option to move back home to Adelaide (which of course we jumped at!) So...we are now packing our belongings in to boxes and the worst room is...come on! have a guess! :) Yup!! My craft room... But its mostly packed up, with the exception of a few stamps, paper packs, a handful of embellishments and my copic markers.  Last week, in between all the craft room packing (I got distracted a few times!) I created this card, its from Unity's ...bunches of love stamps. I decided to make a few, I hate having left over paper, so I tend to create a card (generally for someone's birthday coming up) and then duplicate it so I have a stash of cards for those occasions you forget someones birthday coming up!  This was the perfect stamp set to do this! While stamping, I wished I had that misti tool Ive seen a few times now through youtube videos,...
