More Cards!

 

Hello,
I have a few more cards to share. I try to use the OWH sketches whenever they are posted and I have fallen a bit behind but here is a great sketch and I used an adorable Penny Black stamp that I received from the super generous and kind JoAnn Ross.

I am really trying to go out of my comfort zone- and playing along with Less is More is really stretching things for me. I posted a card the other day but it really did not have white space like the LIS folks promote- so I am trying again and trying to embrace that less truly can be more! This forced me to use an embossing folder- one of my most neglected tools!  Lessismoore.blogspot.com

And another site I am being motivated by is http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/ where there is a sketch for this challenge.

 

And can you stand one more card (OK-2)? Over at Cards in Envy the challenge is to make a card for a friend. http://www.cardsinenvy.blogspot.com/2014/08/best-of-friends-challenge.html
I made 2 cards....and I like them both for different reasons. I love the MFT die of all the people holding hands and I inked 2 of the pals with gold ink-friends are more precious than gold! And I like distress ink panel on the birds card.

And I am excited to say that my eagle card was chosen for the top 3 over at The Male Room.  I struggle to make masculine cards so this site is so inspirational- I love looking at all of the cards created for each challenge!
