It’s another challenge over at the clean and simple challenge blog, Less is More. This time, we’re invited to make our projects on the theme of ‘outdoors’. There were many choices within my (extensive) stash, but since I am working in watercolour in an online course I am following, this stamp stood out…
Yet another challenge at AAA Cards this week! The theme this time is a moodboard (shown below) with the optional twist of it being a get well card. For those unfamiliar with making a clean and simple card from a moodboard, you can choose any element to base your design on, e.g. colours. I’ve taken inspiration from the bottle in the bottom middle image and found a never been used stamp in my stash to match:
As previously mentioned, Christmas in July is a thing in the crafting community. This week at AAA Cards challenge blog, the theme is ‘anything CAS goes’ with the optional twist of Christmas (pets) in July. I’m not a fan of the whole Christmas thing, especially starting in July, and am renowned for being a little bah humbug about the whole thing! So this card suitably sums up my state of mind…
It’s a challenge of ones at Less is More this week – just one image and just one layer. The theme forces a very much no-frills clean and simple card. I had to rummage in my stash again to find a suitable stamp. Some were too big for a C6 card blank, others might have been considered to be more than one image (I was particularly thinking along those lines when looking at collage stamps). Thus, here’s my clean and simple, just one image, one layer card:
It’s time for a new challenge at AAA Cards… This time we’re to use a birthday moodboard as our theme (pic below), with the optional choice of ‘birthday’. The challenge has been running for 8 years and continues to go from strength to strength. I’ve used the balloon theme with colours from the bottom right to make my birthday card.
Another clean and simple card challenge at Less is More this week. We’ve been set the theme of ‘occupations’. I trawled through my stash and decided to go with the occupation of ‘gardener’… It wasn’t that tricky to choose as I only had one set of stamps that were suitable! Here’s my card:
I’ve been working in my Bible this week, adding five more journaling illustrations. As I was looking for new verses to journal, a theme of ‘peace’ developed. As normal, there is a free download printable if you would like to trace and colour your own versions of the illustrations.
Though the theme is ‘anything goes’ it’s important to remember that over at AAA Cards the challenge is to keep it clean and simple. I’ve incorporated the optional theme of ‘spring animals’ into my CAS card. It’s one of the more easy challenges to take part in – why not have a go?
This week’s clean and simple card challenge at AAA Cards is to use the sketch provided to inspire your own makes. There’s the added theme of ‘silhouette’ to throw into the mix. Here’s my design team card…
In this week’s challenge over at AAA Cards, we’re set the task of using just one ninth of the card for our elements. Which ninth you use is up to you, as is the size of the card. I chose a dog as my favourite animal and worked back from there to get the right size card to fit into my ninth. Ok, it overlapped a little, but the essence is certainly there!
