Stampin' Up! Sheltering Tree

Good morning and welcome to my 'Macho Monday' post:

For today's card I used the very versatile SHELTERING TREE stamp set:

This card is a classic example of how I can't just walk away from the card !!!  Do you think that I have overdone it?!......probably!  Oh well back to the drawing board.

I would like to enter:

Lovely As A Tree - One Layer

Good morning (just!) and welcome to my 'Macho Monday' post:

 With the camera flash on:

For todays card (after my third attempt!) I used LOVELY AS A TREE stamp set and heat embossed with GOLD EMBOSSING POWDER. Now me and embossing power don't get on hence my third attempt!  And I am still not 100% happy with the result :-(   
I used anti-static powder but I still managed to get stray speckles of powder so please don't look too closely!  On my next order I will purchase an EMOSSING BUDDY to see if that makes a difference and will let you know the results.

My card was made for the LESS IS MORE CHALLENGE so I kept it very simple with lots of white/red space.
Back to the drawing board I think but I am determined to conker the clean and simple look so if you are in Devon today you might hear a few screams of frustration!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.

For The Birds

Good evening all.

Here is my entry for the Less Is More Challenge 'one layer - water':

Firstly I dry embossed a Textured Impression Designer Frame then I stamped an image from 'For The Birds' set without stamping the sentiment. Next I stamped a Teeny Tiny Sentiment underneath -two attempts to get it straight!!  Also if you look closely I have covered a smudge on the h with a white gel pen!
 It was coloured using Stampin' Write Markers and a lick of Crystal Effects on the bird bath and finished with a few dots of Dazzling Details.
It's not perfect but hey ho!!

Thanks for visiting and I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.
Eve x
