Less is More #17 - Pick a square

Good evening fellow crafters ,

First of all I'd like to say Thank you again to Chrissie and Mandi for choosing my butterfly card for the spot prize last week , I can't believe mine was picked from all the excellent entries ..... I was thrilled to bits :)

..... and so onto this week at Less is More and we have a card sketch divided up into squares , we have to choose a square to base our main image in and leave the rest as white space ..... scary white space !!

I've used my new Lawn Fawn stamp set called Bon Voyage , I really love the chunky line drawn images that you can colour or paper piece in the Lawn Fawn sets , you can buy them here in the UK 
I have coloured the aeroplane with promarkers and highlighted the windows with glossy accents .
The clouds have been highlighted with stickles and promarkers to give them a bit of dimension .
Sentiment is from a Printworks set ..... which are half price at Stamp Addicts at the moment , for your information :)

This was quite a challenge for me as I would never dream of just using one corner of a card to base my main image and especially a top corner so it was good to give it a try . For details of this weeks challenge click here to visit the blog ,if your new to LIM you can still join in but you've missed some cracking challenges :)
I'm hopping over now to look at the recent entries .

Thanks for visiting me today X

  12. Hi Jenny....I just LOVE your card! I'm super jealous of your Lawn Fawn stamps, I new I wanted them since they were recently released. (and I spell "Jenny" with a "y" too- I had a friend in school who spelled her name "Jennie"...we were "Jenny and Jennie!")

  25. Congrats on your win - that's awesome and well deserved! :)
    Love your shading on these images - it really brings them to life. I think I'm going to have to break down and order this set after seeing your card.

    I started working at the vet hospital in 2001 as a kennel assistant. I worked my way up to assisting the nurses and while I considered going to the UK to get my VN qualifications life got in the way and I never made it. I ended up as office manager at the practice then left in 2007 to do a few other things. Now I'm back there part time as a receptionist and I can't believe I ever left. It's so good to be back with the animals. I get along with them much better than people. Think you'll ever go back to nursing? LilJen1@northrock.bm

  42. Well, today Blogger is letting me comment!

    I love this card, Jenny. Your images are colored beautifully and I love your placement. I think it's hard to find images that look right in the upper left corner, but these look like they were made to go there. I like your blue card base, too.
