Pink Cocktails

 Today's card is inspired by the challenge today at Less Is More:

What I used:

Card base - laid card from Ross Papercrafts

Stamps - Clearly Besotted

Coloured with Spectrum Noir pens

It's a very simple design but the laid card makes it look less 'plain'.

I'm also playing along with the challenges at:

Double D - shades of pink

Pink Tulips

Once again I have been glued to the TV screen watching curling so the style of today's card was always going to be very clean and simple...

What I used:

Digi image - Digistamp Boutique (now closed)

Coloured with - Spectrum Noir 

Greeting - Pumpkin Cheesecake font

I printed the image twice and fussy cut some of the flower heads and used a tiny foam pad to create depth and interest as the layout was very simple and basic.

 I'm playing along with the challenges at:

CAS on Friday - spring flowers

Crafty Catz #583 - anything goes

Krafty Chicks #599 - CAS

Simon Says Stamp (Wed) - slimline cards

Polkadoodles # 8 - anything goes

Sisterhood of Crafters - feminine including flowers

As You Like It #268 - a favourite technique. One of my favourite things to do with a stamped image is to stamp the image twice and use parts of the second image to highlight/decoupage areas of the first image using foam pads

HB * 2U

I desperately need more masculine cards for my box. I usually keep to a clean and simple style when making cards for men so seeing that Less Is More has started up again with the very broad theme of 'Birthdays' I was inspired to make this...

I've only used one third of the card leaving a load of clean white space - very CAS!

I've had the number/letter dies for so long I can't remember where they are from! And the coloured card are bits from my scraps box. I love the star between the letter - looks like something from an old Soviet propaganda poster! The only embellishments used are a tiny black plastic dot and two peel-off strips.

I'm playing along with the challenges at:

Less is More - showCASe
