http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/

Here is my 'Less is More" one layer stripes card.  All stamps are by Tim Holtz.  This was a tough one to come up with.  I hope my stripes are ok.  That's it for now, have a good day.

valentine card

Hello... today, since it getting close to Valentine's Day I figured I better get my card done.  So here it is my valentine card to my husband.  The stamp is from memory box,  i love their stamps.  I stamped the adore stamp in black and then colored in the flowers with copic markers.  Then I pop dotted this onto the heart panel which is a cuttlebug embossing folder.  Well this is all for now...  enjoy your day.     

Birthday Truck

 

Hello again everyone.  Today i am sharing with you a card i made for a guy friend.  I find, as i am sure you do too, that guy cards are not always easy to think up.  The truck stamp is one of Wendy Vecchi's Stampers Anonymous stamps.  The words are Hero Arts.  My background is made using various distress inks in brown, green, blue, red, orange and yellow.  Then i splattered it with water to give it an even more distressed look. I stamped the truck and words in distress Gathered Twigs ink.  To give some dimension to the card i added black buttons with string through the holes to the wheels.  The truck looked like it was floating in the air till i added the ribbon to look like a

road.   Then it was all put on on a dark brown card.  Hope you enjoy my card.  Let me know what you think.

Flower by Magenta

My card for today is a Magenta flower.  This is a sympathy card I made for a friend of mine who lost his father.  I stamped it in black and went around the edges with blue distress ink.  It's layered onto a white panel that I went down the sides with a push pin and the Tim Holtz ruler.  His ruler makes it so easy to do this.  Finally it's all put on a blue lined card with a black and white ribbon in between.  Let me know what you think.  Have a great day!  

Birthday cards

Hello...

Today i have two cards to show. One is a dragon for my husband. The other is a fish one for my uncle.

For the dragon card i heat embossed the dragons and then went over it with fire brick red distress stain. Then i mounted it onto a gold panel. It was then foam mounted onto a red panel stamped with a cherry blossom stamp. And finally mounted onto a black card with ribbon and happy birthday.

The fish card is a Memory Box wave stamp that i heat embossed in white. Twinkling H2O's were used to paint it in shades of blue. Then mounted onto a blue panel to a white card.  Lastly i stamped and cut out the fish and added them to the card.

Hope you enjoy my cards.  Till next time... 

Drawing - Face

Hello... Today i have a drawing to share with everyone.  This is the second one i have ever made.  I colored it with watercolor paints (the hair) and copic markers. This one is very different from the last one i did.  I think it's all in the eyes... and they are the hardest to do.  When i first started drawing the faces, it was an experiment.  What i found, was that i really like doing the drawings. So anyway here it is.  Thanks for looking. 

Christmas card

Hello everyone... Surprise!  Hope everyone had a nice holiday.  I know i did, but i'm glad it's over.  I did manage with all the holiday crazyness to make my Christmas cards.  I made 25 this year... alot less than i used to!  I used to make about 75 cards each year.  But i was finding it stressful and more of a chore.  Now i enjoy making my cards.  For this card i used a cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and a Memory Box stamp. I dotted all the snowdots with a white poster paint pen. I pop dotted the blue panel and added some bling to the "let it snow".

Here is my 2011 Christmas card. 

My next card here is a birthday card using a Fred Mullet stamp called Spider Mum.  I love Fred Mullet stamps.  You can't tell in the photo but the pink cardstock is shimmery and the stamp has pink glitter on it.  The butterfly is a Lost and Found brand button. I like butterflies!

Here is the birthday card i made for my Boss.
