Hello everyone. Well, we're into spring now although I bet it still doesn't feel like it for a lot of people. Hang in there....the sun will soon be on its way!
As we're on the 5th Saturday in the month it means we're having a lucky dip challenge at Less is More
Aileen from Colour and Sparkle, our January winner has kindly given us this incredibly beautiful card to CASE. (CASE = Copy And Share Everything).
AILEEN'S CARD
We also have the fab Kylie as our other guest designer this week, and she is also sponsoring the challenge.
Head on over to the challenge blog for some fantastic inspiration from the design team
I struggled with masculine images for this challenge so I failed to make the masculine card. But I do have 2 other cards for you.
1) Coloured flowers
I took inspiration from the colours, flowers and silver raised sentiment from Aileen's card.
Instead of one single flower type I've used a variety of the stitched doodle flowers by Happy Little Stampers, masking so that they appear behind each other. I also added a few leaves in. Then I coloured the flowers with promarkers, adding a little shadow underneath the arrangement to 'ground' the flowers. The panel was cut with a stitched rectangle die and mounted on fun foam before adhering to the card base. The sentiment was cut on my ScanNcut.
This card is for:

2) Multiple colour embossed butterflies
I suppose this one is my technique card, as I heat embossed several different colours and types of embossing powders, so you have to be careful not to re-melt and flatten out some of the colours.
Want to see how I did that? Then check out this 4 minute VIDEO (with happier music too for a change)
This one is a more loose interpretation of Aileen's card, substituting butterflies for the flowers, and shifting the layout up to the top of the card.
Yay! I actually caught the fantastic sparkle from the embossing powders on camera!
