Hi Everyone,
Well I've had all weekend to think of an idea for my card for Less is More this week and still had no clear direction when I sat down yesterday evening. The theme is 'CIRCLES'...not just the one, include a few, and remembering to keep it clean and simple too.
In the end I chose an un-inked stamp set and this is what I came up with....
I thought I'd go for a comic book style so I stamped the images and coloured them with promarkers before using a circular punch to cut out part of the images and mounting them onto a row of black circles. The earth badge is from a bargain set in the sale at Hobbycraft and is mounted onto the inside of the card so it peeks through an aperture on the front ......
That way I could continue the sentiment onto the inside ....... in the words of John 'Hannibal' Smith, I love it when a plan comes together :)
I'm sure this week will gallop by, I have my Mother-in-law coming to stay for a few nights so blogging time may suffer and it's run down to the end of term so sports day's and school BBQ's to go to.....can't wait for the hols to start but first I have to make the house presentable including tackling the ever growing ironing pile before it topples over...aarrgghh!
I'll be back later to see what all the other Limettes have made for this weeks theme, I'm sure it'll be a popular week again :)
Bye for now and thanks for visiting today X
The way you've done the sentiment is utterly inspired Jenny! But I don't know what you're doing making cards - get those marigolds on now!!! Vx

This is an amazing card, I love it! I really wanted to have a go again this week as I love circles but I've had a couple of cards that I've had to make for family members to give to others along with holiday packing so I'm not sure I'm going to squeeze it in! Becky x

Oh wow, this is a little beauty. Love the whimsical look of the stamps, and the aperture is fab. Lynn x
ReplyDeleteThis was a lot of coloring, but well worth it! I love the way you've placed the earth on the inside as part of the sentiment. I haven't tried any aperture cards yet, but will have to give it a go. Ann
ReplyDeleteJenny your ideas are so brilliant, you certainly think outside the box, this card is fabulous

ReplyDeleteVery clever Jenny, great design & colouring! xx
ReplyDeleteLove this card. I've not been on your blog before but it's stunning! Thanks for your kind words on my blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, love your card. Just fab for all those boys out there and the idea of the aperture for the button to show throw is brilliant. Must be the time of the year for a house clean - I've been doing that today too at least my house will be clean at the beginning of the 6 weeks, don't ask me what it will be like at the end! Sarah
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card, Jenny!! Love all your little circles, but the cut out and the sentiment going to the inside with your world circle....creative genius...once more...love it:)!!
