Back to crafting

It seems s though I have been out of the crafting loop for quite some time. Since stepping back from Less is More for a while, my time seemed consumed with family commitments and holiday preparations. We are now home for a few weeks and I hope to get a little card making under my belt. I only hope that the mojo returns!

Here is a card for the challenge at CAS Mix Up

The stamp from Penny Black was coloured with Stampin' Up pens and the image then splattered with Pumice Stone Distress Ink applied with a toothbrush (whilst still in the Cutplorations wonky stitched die) . I then added some Sunlight Mist Cosmic Shimmer, flicked from a paintbrush. In fact the spray has stopped working and despite my best efforts seems unwilling to become operational again, so this method of usage seems like a good idea!

My choice of technique is the die-cutting, which is one of my favourite things to use.

Sadly I can't find the origin of the sentiment die.

The recipe at "Less is More" this week is to include a tag on your creation.

Here's a dear little bunny from Mama Elephant, coloured 

with alcohol pens and twinkled with Glamour Dust. 

The tag is from LOTV and the embossing folder is an A4 size 

from Creative Expressions.

A larger tag here with a super butterfly from Indigo Blu. It stamps very well with Distress Ink. Here I used Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon. The splats are from Paper Artsy and Stampin' Up and the sentiment from Penny Black!

The ribbon just happened to match perfectly, , otherwise I would have coloured some with the Distress Ink!
