Less Is More: Combine any three previous Less is More challenges
  Here's a new card for the new Less is More Challenge - Week 217.
The Challenge this week: Combine any three previous LiM challenges.
I had to make a birthday card for my Brother-in-Law so I went for the following challenges:
Week 18: Monochrome
Week 111: Frame it!
Week 159: Masculine 
I coloured a Tim Holtz car embossing folder with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink and embossed a piece of white cardstock with my Cuttlebug. I added then Antique Linen and Old Paper DIs to the embossed car and die cutted the whole piece. After that I've used some Walnut Stain DI for the edges of that piece. 
Then I stamped the border with Walnut Stain and the sentiment with Brushed Corduroy. I hope he likes it :)

 Thanks for looking :)

Less Is More: One Layer - Starry, Starry Night
 
This card is for the new Less is More Challenge - Week 197.
The Challenge this week is a One Layer card with the theme: Starry, Starry Night.
  I was experimenting with the Northern Lights technique lately and thought that would work well with some stars. So I masked up a rectangle spot on my card, stamped some stars with VersaMark and embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then I added the different colours for the Northern Lights effect with Distress Inks and VersaFine. Check the technique out here.It's good fun. 
I've rubbed off the inks from the stars with a kitchen towel and added a border with a blue metallic ProMarker and the sentiment. Finally I filled in the stars with a clear Sakura gelly pen.
Thanks for looking :)

Less Is More: One Layer
 
This card is for the new Less is More Challenge - Week 171.
The Challenge this week is a One Layer "Thank You" card.
  I've used Memento inks (Rose Bud and Black) for this card. 
The sentiment is from Creative Expressions. I don't know where the flower stamp is from. It came in a grab bag, that I bought years ago. 

 





This is how the card looked first, however it just didn't feel right.

So I decided to add a border with the same ink (Rose Bud) as the flowers. 
For me this was the finishing touch that the card needed. 
Thanks for looking :)

This journal page is for the Simon Says Stamp's Monday Challenge: Not so Mellow Yellow!
For the background I have used 2 different yellow acrylic paints, added Washi Tape for the border and the clock faces stamps are from Creative Expressions. 
I've also used a couple of different pens for the rest of the page. 
The quote is from John Lennon and I really love it.
