Less Is More - Predominantly Black

The new challenge over at Less is More (Week 218) is "Predominantly Black".
I cut out 3 different size circles in Black and White and layered them on top of each other. I stamped the quote on the top white one. Then I adhered white and red ribbon to a piece of black card and glued it to a white cardbase. Finally I added the circles and a glittery red heart.

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 :)

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge: Red & Green

This weeks challenge on Merry Monday Christmas is "Red & Green".

For this card I've cut out a couple of shapes in different colours with my Cuttlebug. I stamped a Christmas image from Craft Stamper on the smallest red one and embossed it with gold embossing powder. I've dry-embossed the green shape with polka dots. Assembled everything on a white square card, added red ribbon and the bow.

The Craft Barn: Weekly Challenge

The theme for the 2nd weekly challenge at the Craft Barn is Tando.
I only own a stencil from Tando, which made it easy to decide what to use. I've recently learnt about a technique which is called Bokeh and thought this would go well with my splatter stencil. Well, I liked the end result, but I'm not sure if it's really Bokeh :) 
Here is what I did:
I've used 3 different Distress Inks for the background, let it dry completely and then sponged white Brilliance Ink through the stencil. I've overlapped the splatters from time to time and again let it dry. 
Then I've stamped the Happiness quote from PaperArtsy on a piece of cardboard, which I die-cut with my Cuttlebug, coloured it with Distress Ink and layered it on a blue piece of cardboard. I've layered the whole card on another piece of blue cardboard, added the ribbon and the charm and adhered everything onto a white card.
