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 :)


Jenny these are both great cards and I'm glad your idea came into fruition as you'd hoped. I think the one for your B.I.L. is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see you again as part of our growing community and see you next week!

ReplyDeleteOooh, I'm crazy about the eco/natural look, so I especially love the "masculine" card. Very well done. Great stamps!
ReplyDeletethese are both lovely cards, I really like the second one - perfect - well done
ReplyDeleteWOW . . .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!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sandra
love both of you cards and it is hard to choose which one is my favorite
ReplyDeleteTwo super cards - my personal preference is for the Judikins card but that's probably because I have that cube myself!
