Whisper a wish...

The Less is More Challenge this week is 'Silhouette', which is my favourite style of stamp.  The challenge closes soon, so I'm sneaking in my entry at the last minute this week!

The image and sentiment are by Little Claire.  I used Adirondack Red Pepper, Orange Sunset and Sunshine Yellow ink pads for the background and applied the ink using Ink Dusters.  The stamped image is die cut with a Creative Expressions Pierced Rectangle die and matted on a snippet of black card.

Two cards today...

A thank you card today, using two of the stamps in a Stamp Attic set, which I was lucky enough to win recently.

The snow drift is cut with a Lawn Fawn 'Stitched Hillside Border'.  Tiny punched snowflakes were added to the sky.

My second card is an Acceptance card for a friend's wedding. I used a Couture Creations 'Tied Together' embossing folder for the background.  The Memory Box 'Red Sofia Heart' was die cut using a snippet of red holographic card.  This was mounted on Spellbinders 'Lacey Circles' die cuts and attached with foam pads.   The word 'Acceptance' is stamped with a very old Hobby Arts wood mounted stamp and matted on red holographic card.

Do you want to build a snowman?

The current Cuttlebug Mania challenge is 'Baby, it's cold outside',  to include a snowman. So, I thought I'd 'build' a snowman.

The card base was cut with a Presscut 'Scallop Semi Circle' die.  I think the card is supposed to go the other way up and stand up looking like a shell shape, but I decided to put it this way to make a rocker card.  I die cut a semi circle, using one of the dies that comes with the set and embossed it with a Crafter's Companion 'Snowflakes' e/f.  The die cut snowflakes are Memory Box 'Twilight Snowflakes', another Christmas present from a crafty friend.  The snowman was made using two Memory Box 'Stitched Circle' dies, embossed with a Sheena Douglass 'Snowfall' e/f. The hat was die cut from a snippet of blue card, using a really old Sizzlets die.  Black gems, a ribbon scarf and a nose cut out of a snippet of orange card finished off the snowman.

Thinking of You

A sympathy card to share today, which I made for a blogging friend a few weeks ago.  I thought I'd forgotten to take a photo of the card before sending it, but came across the photo today.

The die cut on the left is Memory Box 'Fairytale Flower Border'.  I die cut in white first, then again in pale pink.  I snipped off four pink flowers and layered over the white die cut to add just a touch of colour.
