First I will apologise for my card, I wanted to use the large Text stamp for this weeks challenge at Everybody Art of using Text for a motiv/image but when it actually came to making my card I had no idea what to do with it.
The stamp itself is from Inkylicious and the houses are from Memory Box, it was my planned to used both of them together but nevery could work out how.
I'm in two minds about the corners from La LaLand but kept there anyway.
Do pop over and check out the team also hope you can join in this week.

Something Blue

Found it, this was the first idea I had for the Less is More Mostly Words challenge. I used the Hero Arts Stamp and since the mixed blue ink I had was pigment, once stamped I had to emboss it. So when I stamped the sentiment I also embossed it. Then I coloured the the word Blue with a pen.
The background shows up a bit more in real life.

The challenge on Less is More this week is for  Mostly Words so an idea popped into my head and while making it another idea arrived in my head. Since I've lost the image of the first idea I better post the second.
It helped that I've a couple of large word stamps from Inkylicious. I did think to colour the some of the letters but I thought it would distract from the little scene at the bottom of the card. The scene is from Memory Box and some scraps of card stock.

Shades of Blue

I wanted to join in the Less is More Winter Blues challenge but all the ideas I had, I've either done them before and or someone had made a similar card. On the table beside me is a box of Simon Say Stamps dies and in there are the feathers. I wanted to use a stencil over them but I just wasn't in the right frame of mind to get messy.
I got out different shades of blue card and using MFT zig zag/chervons die cut out 3 of each colour and of white. A bit of advice here stick some dst behind the card and careful position the die along it so you will able to stick the down the zigzag. I went through quite a bit of the tape in the Xyron to make it sticking on the back.
I used a thin bit of paper to layer my zigzags on the last three I cut in half and layered half the side till I have enough to use the feather die.
After a hunt through must of my stuff I found the Inkylicious stamp that I brought from Ally Pally. Once stamped I just coloured the blue word and put my feathers together with a bit of silver twine. I used a spellbinders die to cut out the sentiment and then used to it to draw round and hand cut the mat.
Paper pricked round the edges of a white mat and stuck it down in the centre and added everything else on top.

It still wet and windy and the radio is constantly tell us which roads are being closed and Guildford even made the telly with their metal river defences to save the lower High Street from being flooded again. But at least we are able to go out even if it is in our wellies, my heart goes out the USA where they have record freezing temperatures.
