Less is More #4

So the kids are back at school and the weather is dreary so some card-making was the order of the morning.

Week 4 at the Less is More challenge blog and this week we have to use three squares on our card. I decided to stipple three squares through a homemade acetate stencil with Tim Holtz distress ink. Then stamp, and colour with promarkers, two images from a set of clear Woodware stamps and use a sentiment from the same set on the middle square. Glossy accents highlights the cherry and chocolate sauce and a piece of ribbon with bow to finish.
I was so pleased with how this style of card came out that I made another, this time as a birthday card for my Brother-in-Law whose birthday is coming up. He's a travel fanatic so thought I could make a variation on the theme using a  Judikins cube stamp and using Kraft card.

This time I stippled arond the acetate square and mounted the images on top.

If you fancy taking up the challenge visit the blog, make a card and upload it..we're a friendly group over there and you'll find some inspiring designs and blogs too :)

  13. WOW . . .I love both cards. They are so different but using a similar technique! Love the way the stippling seems to make a shadow for the squares on the 2nd card!

  15. Two super cards - my personal preference is for the Judikins card but that's probably because I have that cube myself!
