I didn't manage to join in with last week's challenge at Less is More, even though there were 2 weeks to play along - it's the first time I've missed one :o( So I thought I'd combine this week's theme of 'predominantly purple' with last week's 'just one word'...
It had to be a very simple card today, because Dex's cough is making him a bit miserable and he doesn't want me to do anything - he sat on my feet in the craft room while I made this!
I've used a cute Elzybells bear - never used before even though I've probably had it a couple of years, so that's another one of my un-inked stamps I can stop feeling quite so guilty about.... I stamped it onto linen card and coloured it with promarkers and flexmarkers, and used a sakura clear stardust pen for the spots on her dress. Added a gem on her flower (Dex told me to - he likes a bit of bling lol), a Personal Impressions sentiment and then mounted it on a lilac (or lavender? Light purple?...) card base.
Sorry this is a bit brief (you might think that's a good thing), hopefully I'll have a bit more time tomorrow!
love this, great stamp, well done on using an uninked stamp! x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Lisa, that is one of my fave Elzy images and I love the purple of course! Hope Dez feels better soon xx

This is perfect for the challenge and that bear is so cute! I don't usually use purple - so when I do, I have to totally scrounge for something to go with it, lol. I'm glad Dex had a fab birthday! Hope he feels better soon, though - poor thing!
ReplyDeleteI love your CAS cards, this one is no exception! I have such a limited range of "amount" I can put on a card: I can't do vintage-masses-of-flowers and I struggle with Clean and Simple as well!! Donna xx
