swinging

.

Dearest Minions,

Good day, this is my entry to this week's less is more challenge which is this sketch (or a circle one.)

The image used is a digi from Free vintage digital stamps. I then printed the text "Swingers party c1940". I masked off the image and sponged over the image in distress ink Blue Jeans.

I also did a sunset image and a larger image with a masked sun. Nice and subversive cards...

scraps - new life

Dearest Minions,

This week's less is more challenge is using up some scraps while creating a simple design. I used a piece of left over vellum which I then die cut using a memory box die cut used a HOTP sentiment and hurrah have welcome to the family card. I know it is blue but I think I could send this regardless of sex or number of legs. The vellum was a pain to stick down esp. the doe bum and I was thinking of an end of the day conversation "what did you do today?" "I had problems with glossy accents and a doe's backside and you?"

 I am also entering this into the the wonderful ink on my fingers life challenge this week. This is a wonderful blog inspiring and chatty.

Speaking of life there an amazing article on deep sea life on the BBC website, do have a look.

raise glass to Isadora Duncan

Dearest Minions,

Sadly some days you need to hack and squeeze things and when I feel this urge I turn to my beloved cuttlebug.

This is my entry to the less is more challenge this week which is die cuts and punches. The die cut used is tree by memory box, it is so adaptable but it is so fiddly and often doesn't cut clearly- so tips and advice on this would be greatly appreciated. The sentiment is from some scrapbook paper and it is from Isadora Duncan who is sadly remembered for her death and long scarfs rather than her immense dancing talent. So let us raise a glass to one of the pioneers of modern dance.

this is the weather outside my house at the moment, now you can see why the sentiment is imagine spring. The card was such a pain to photograph as it was so pale but it is pretty and a step outside my usual style.
