I spent a wonderful birthday playing with crafty things at Chrissie's (Lady LIMette herself) on Wednesday and when I heard that Jen might not be able to make her cards for this week's challenge I jumped in and asked if I could do some for Less is More. Chrissie kindly agreed and let me see Jen's fab sketch for this week's challenge, this is what I came up with.
First card is a slavish copy of the sketch: the sentiment is computer generated, I've embossed Swiss Dots on the star, used my sewing machine to pierce a border round the card and added a simple mat. The cardstock is White Laid, really interesting texture in real life.
Second card is a little more adventurous, the shape is now a rectangle and my star has become a 3D flower made using my Portrait. The lime green mesh came from Stamp Attic, the card candi and sentiment are from Craftwork cards.
Hope you like my cards and I may add some more using this great sketch...
How great to see you GD at LIM, Anne, with these fabulous cards! I particularly love the kraft one ... beautiful flower and all that gorgeous texture ... positively touchable! Anita :)
