More man cards

Hello All!

A really quick post from me today `cos it`s getting late and I`m tired.
In Hull we have two rugby league teams, Hull Kingston Rovers who play in a red and white strip and Hull FC who play in a black and white strip. I thought these little cards would be a fun addition to the fundraising box.

I printed the stripes from Pink Petticoat onto white card.
The little rugby player is by Creative stamping and I stamped him onto the base card. I cut a strip of the stripes to the required width then cut an oval with a nestie, ( because it resembles a rugby ball) lined it up with the image then cut the length.
I`ve raised that panel with foam pads. The sentiment is by Anita`s and that is placed with foam pads too.
The image is coloured with Promarkers.

Right that`s it from me, I`m done in.
Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx

Less is More wk 45 Let it Snow

At last, I thought I`d never get this posted. I`ve never been this late with my entry for Less is More before but I didn`t want to miss a week after all this time. This week it`s a one layer card with the theme `Let it Snow`.
I really can`t understand why, when I`ve known Christmas was coming for the past year, I`m still running about like a maniac and so disorganised it`s unbelievable.
Anyway onto my very late card.
White card base 5x5 punched along the bottom with a MS punch.
I used a medallion stamp by Creative Stamping called Snowflake but kept it as a single image, stamped in Memento Bahama Blue and embossed in clear EP.
The sentiment is by Layers of Color stamped in Versafine Black.
And there you have it clean and very, very simple. Just like me lol.

Hopefully I`ll get round a few more of you with comments later this evening.

CR84FN #40

Hello Everyone.
I hope you`re enjoying your sunday. It`s certainly got a bit nippier in my neck of the woods but still a lovely bright day. Don`t think it`s going to last much longer though(sigh).
I thought I`d share my entry for this fortnights cr84fn Challenge with you today.

This is the inspiration we have been given and a colour pallette of Red, Kraft and Brown.

I`ve used a brown base card (5x5) and matted a script paper from Pink Petticoat onto it.
My Poinsettia is from Creative Stamping and is a Mandalla stamp. I stamped the image 4 times in Cranberry ink onto red card and cut it out, decreasing the petals each time then built it up using foam pads.

This pic shows the depth of the flower afterwards. I gently curled the petals with my fingers beforehand. Some yellow flatback pearls have been added to the centre.
I cut a strip of Kraft card, stamped my sentiment from Anita`s in Versafine Onyx Black, matted onto some brown card and cut it leaving a slim border.
I`m rather pleased with this one. Quite a simple card but with a bit of POP.

Less is More #33 Poinsettia

Hi All!
I`m back with my final entry for this weeks marathon 1000 entries challenge at Less is More. At the last count there were well over 600 entries which is fantastic. Wouldn`t it be great if we could have one final push for the 1000.

Still in Christmas mode as you can see. I think this one would be great for mass producing, really quick and easy to do.
The poinsettia stamp is by Creative Stamping and I`ve stamped and embossed in gold EP. Coloured with Promarkers then added the sentiment which is by Anita`s also embossed in gold EP.
I`ve matted the image onto gold mirri card. The main panel is Cuttlebug Candy Cane EF also matted onto gold mirri card. And that`s it, simples!
I`ve really enjoyed this week, coming up with new ideas and I`ve started on my Christmas cards which is a first for me. I usually can`t get into the spirit of Christmas until last minute and then I panic lol. Expect to see more while the mood is on me ...
