Less is More Week 251

Good morning

It's time for another new challenge at Less is More.  We are back with a theme challenge this week which is...

Numbers

Please remember to keep your creations clean and simple

So, I'll get straight to it with my samples...

I stamped five balloons in blue shades and die cut with their co-ordinating dies.  I then positioned them roughly where I wanted them and marked under each one with a pencil.  Further down the card I marked a central point then drew in the 'strings' with a fineliner pen.  The balloons where then adhered in place and the sentiment was stamped onto a panel, die cut using a stitched rectangle die.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Clearly Besotted - Make a Wish; Paper Smooches - Birthday Sampler
• Dies: Clearly Besotted - Make a Wish; MFT Die-namics - Stitched Rectangles
• Ink: Versa Color - Cyan, Baby Blue, Royal Blue

And my second card...

I die cut a heart and embossed the sentiment and numbers with silver embossing powder.  I cut a smaller heart from a post-it note and placed this onto the white cardstock panel so I could blend out some distress inks, keeping the rough shape of the heart.  The embossed heart was then adhered onto the panel on 3D foam, as was the panel to the card base.

Materials used:

• Die: X-Cut - Nested Hearts
• Stamps: Uniko - Classic Numbers
• Ink: VersaMark; Distress Ink - Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Metallic Silver
