Winter Blues at Less is More

By
I cleared a small space in my craft room this morning and then filled it again making this card for this week's challenge over at Less is More. It's a one layer card using blues - take a look


I scored the card before masking off the top and the bottom, I then used sponges to add the blue ink. A darker blue was used to stamp the reeds and the birds and then the sentiment.

Materials - Stampin' Up
Stamps: Wetlands, Loving Thoughts
Ink: Soft Sky, Midnight Muse
Card Stock: Naturals White

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing.

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!!

I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
