You're A Star - LIM

I have popped on here quickly as I have made another card for the Less Is More challenge of Things That Move. I have used the Bubbles stamp set by Our Craft Lounge - just too cute! I have stamped the images out on to white CS and then coloured with Copic Markers adding a little glitter with a clear Spica pen. The panel has then been mounted to DB Honeydew CS followed by adhesive squares on to a white card blank.

Less Is More - Masculine

This is the first time I have entered this challenge but I love the 'less is more' look. This week is the masculine challenge. For this card I have used the football bear from the Forever Friends The Good Life Sports Collection, stamped him onto white CS and coloured with Copics. The greeting (Our Craft Lounge) stamped in the corner and this panel has then been mounted to blue CS using 3d foam pads; the whole thing has then been adhered to a white card blank using DST. Thank you for a great challenge Chrissie and Mandi!
