Less Is More - Shades Of Grey!

Good morning LIMettes!

Wow what a stunner of a day it is today! I have woken up to glorious sunshine and birds singing, and headed to my craft room in anticipation of a lovely summery colour challenge over at Less Is More, so imagine my surprise when this is what I saw...

Yup! Now maybe Chrissie and Jen were anticipating the 'usual' summer weather when they set this challenge, I don't know, but I can tell you that I have never felt less inspired lol!

Nonetheless, here is my very grey entry!

I only really have one shade of grey in Stampin' Up! colours as I don't have the brand new Smoky Slate yet, but Basic Gray does manage to become different shades when used in different ways. I used a Basic Gray card blank, Basic Gray ink, and then the This 'n That Washi Tape which looks like 2 shades when used on a grey card blank. The ink spray was created using the sadly retired Spritzer Tool.

The sentiment was created by combining 2 of the ones from the brand new Six Sided Sampler Stamp Set.

I used the funky sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch for my card.

If you would like to order these sentiments, any of the products I have used, or any of the other fabulous new products, please do contact me and I will be very happy to place your order for you.

Please click on the catalogue link on my sidebar to browse the yummy new catalogue, or for £4.95 inc. p&p I can send you your very own copy to drool over and write your wishlist in!

What have you got planned for the weekend? I am am running the Race For Life tomorrow, and I will be honest, I am not looking forward to it given the heatwave! However, I will complete it, and I was wondering if any of you lovely LIMettes would like to sponsor me? I have a Just Giving page here where you can securely donate any amount of money you like. I know that Cancer Research need every penny, so please give a little, if you can!

I will post some pics afterwards as proof I did it!

Have a lovely weekend all of you...enjoy the sun! I'm off crafting with Jen and Vicky! :)

A speedy card for Father's Day!

Hey there!

Ok...the sun's gone :( But it's supposed to be back for our Bank Holiday weekend...yay!

Here is a card I have just made as I really wanted to enter the challenge at Retro Sketches this week.

I'm loving this little guy...love the set actually! This is from Dinoroar...one of my favourite sets! I stamped him in Stazon then coloured him with my Stampin' Write Markers. I then fussy cut him using my brand new Paper Snips...I have to say, I used to be a Poundland scissors girl....well after trying these, not any more! They are super sharp, small and have a very pointy tip which is perfect for fussy cutting.

I have used the speckled effect again, which is another effect I love! This is created using the Spritzer Tool. Woodgrain EF and Linen Thread complete this card.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White

Stamp - Dinoroar

Ink - Various Stampin' Write Markers

Embossing - Woodgrain EF

Other - Spritzer Tool, Paper Snips, Linen Thread
