Let's Sketch

Can you believe that Less is More is a year old?  What a wonderful year it's been with this challenge.  So much inspiration and friendships have come my way since joining in.  Thanks ladies for coming up with such a wonderful variety of challenges for us each week.

I had this embossed heart from the Floral Fillers set on my table and looked for a way to use it for

the challenge which this week is a SKETCH and there are some basic ground rules.

We would like the card to be

rectangular

                                                                            in landscape orientation
                                                                            with the band remaining in a vertical position

As it's a very simple sketch, we would like it to remain as is without any rotation of either the card or the vertical band.

I really love this sketch and think I will  use it often.

All supplies are Stampin' Up!

A friend of our daughter is getting married in the Spring and I think this will  be a great Wedding card.

I'm so glad you stopped by.

Another Window

Here's another window card I did while I was on that roll.

There's a challenge blog out there called CAS-ual Fridays and I've been wanting to participate in their challenges.  CAS is what I like best.  I hope you can visit their challenge site.  Not only are the DTs samples wonderful, but there are over 200 entries for this challenge alone.  I wish I had time to visit each of the entrants' blogs to get a closer look and let them know how much I enjoyed their inspiration.  This is the challenge this week.

CFC36: Create a Clean And Simple Project that is only black and white.

*no other colors will be allowed-not even a speck*

I love black and white cards!

It also qualifies for the Less is More challenge this week to

"Cut it Out"

For this we would like to see some kind of hole or aperture in your card!

I love these cards with cutouts, but they are hard to get a good photo of.  I'm no photographer and I couldn't figure out how to get a picture without any shadow.  Hopefully you can see the card well enough.

Pink and Red

One Layer Wednesday is back!  I've missed this challenge and I'm so glad it's back.

This week the challenge is to use red and pink...and ONLY red and pink...on a white card base.

I got this Floral Fillers stamp set for Christmas and thought it would be a good time to break it out.

I stamped one heart in Cherry Cobbler and stamped again on a sticky note.  I cut out the sticky note heart and using it for a mask, stamped a second heart on the card.  The sentiment is from the same set.  The one flower is colored with my Regal Rose marker.

I think I'll save this for my sister and brother-in-law's anniversary.  They will be celebrating their 55th this year and I think that's pretty amazing!

Here is another that I did with this set.  It looked like it needed something and the more I did to find that something, the worse it looked.  Does that ever happen to you?

I covered a major boo, boo with a punched flower.  I'm not totally satisfied with this, but thought I'd share it anyway.  Nobody said one layer cards were easy!
