Something that Moves

I finally got round to making my Less is More card, I haven't missed a week since I joined on week two and didn't want to falter now!

This weeks theme is
 Things That Move
 which could be an actual moving component
 or an image of something that moves.

Given more time I would have loved to try and make a slider or pop up card but seeing as we are at the end of the week now I've opted for an image of a scooter .... a Spiffy Scooter to be precise ....

This Paper Smooches set has not had much use yet and is perfect for a moving object as well as fitting with a couple of other challenges too :)
The Polaroid frame is from a Lawn fawn set called 'Say Cheese' and I decided to distress and ink the edges to give an aged appearance, the sentiment is from a different LF set called 'Cruising Through Life' .... who'd have guessed???

 
Oh and by the way I promised to let you know when Emily at Make The Day Special had Paper Smooches in stock, well she has now and is also waiting for the newest Lawn Fawn stamp sets too .... it's so good to be able to buy these fab stamp sets over here now :)

I'm also entering this card into the Wee Memories challenge #64 as they require a Masculine card and I reckon this could make a good valentines or anniversary card for a guy????

..... and with some amazing planning and fore thought this also fits nicely in with the travel theme over at The Paper Variety too!

 .... oh and The Paper Variety are having their first birthday celebrations starting on the 7th September with lots of giveaways and competitions so pop over here and find out what it's all about .... you might even spot Hannah, she's on the design team :)


Save the date!

You are in with a chance of winning a prize just by displaying this blinkie on your side bar and spreading the word, go grab it from this post here.

I have not had a chance to visit all the other Limettes blogs yet but I will get round to that later today .... still playing catch-up after our weekend away :)

Cheerio and thanks for looking X

  14. Hi Jenny, Gorgeous card, love the spiffy scooter, you made me smile it's a great expression, LOL!
    Well done combining all the challenges and well done Hannah, a DT position already, clever girl:0)
    Thank you for your kind comments and I didn't mask, luckily the plane stamped well over the inked oval. I did however have to deepen the black inking because the image wasn't a good enough contrast. Amazing what a Marvy-Le-Plume black will sort out! Gay xxx

  39. I missed this one, and I am sad about that. I love this creation. Love those scootery bikes and the sentiment. Creating the slider or any other moveable thing is a lot of work when you have ironing to do.... I love your take on the challenge.
