Less is More- Monochrome

Hi folks, I decided to enter this week's Less is More challenge again, as the theme is 'Monochrome', and this really appeals to me. I went for my favourite colour palette, purple, and stuck to a theme of clover. I chose to use Kraft card as my base this week, and stamped a lovely stamp from Art Journey three times, once in Versafine Imperial Purple, and twice in Memento Sweet Plum, onto my card. I then stamped a honeycomb design from Jo Capper-Sandon in Lulu Lavender. I stamped the word 'Dream' from Kaisercraft (Life Sentiments) in Imperial Purple again, in the bottom corner. Finally, I stamped two bees, from Jo Capper-Sandon onto Wendy Vecchi's Clearly for Art in Purple Stazon, and moulded them slightly, before sticking them onto the card.

Thanks for stopping by today, Judith xx

Less is More- Butterflies

I've admired the Less is More Challenge Blog since it first started, and been a follower since day one. However, due to other commitments, I've never been able to join in their weekly challenges. This week, the theme is Butterflies, so I just had to have a go. I love using butterflies in my crafting, in all shapes and sizes. I bought a new butterfly stamp last week at the Happy Stampers Show at Port Sunlight, from the Stamp Camp stand, along with a lovely flourish, and decided to use those on my card. I used them alongside a lovely butterfly saying from Chocolate Baroque.
First of all, I stamped the Butterfly, and masked it using the image stamped again onto Eclipse masking tape. I stamped the flourish, so that it appears to be behind the butterfly. I then coloured the butterfly with Inktense pencils.

The picture isn't brilliant, as I've taken it in artificial light, rather than wait until the morning, as I'm working then.
