Hello lovely ladies and gents and a happy new year to you all.
Once again popping back out of retirement to take part in another fun and fab challenge over at Less is More.
This weeks challenge is colour using the ombre technique and for those not familiar with said technique just pop over to LIM and all will become clear.
I see my old mucker Smiley Kylie from Happy Little Stampers is the sponsor for this weeks challenge so one more reason for me to play along.
Two versions of the same card the first one is the nice clean and tidy version and the second one is the messy one but photographed better ( in my humble opinion )
The pig was cut with my cameo and the negative space was coloured with Pan Pastels then embossed with this fab Memory Keepers embossing folder and a little gem added for the eye.
Why not pop over to LIM to see the amazing cards by the design team and as always the gallery is filling up nicely with lots of gorgeous creations.
I’m off to put on some extra socks -9 here in sunny Greece all my lovely plants have died overnight after many years of love and attention from me sniff sniff.
Take care
Marie

Your card is wicked cute…jumped out at me right away!

Hello You, Happy New Year. of course I absolutely LOVE your card and as I have recently become less scared of the Cameo, I even know how you did the outline, (I think LOL) Love the pattern of the pig.
Seems we have the mild air AND rain and you have the freezing cold, sounds like it’s crafty time weather for you. Shame about the plants, I know where you are coming from with that.
Hope things improve.
Hugs

I love both of these examples and your use of the embossing folder is simply jaw-dropping. Absolute CAS perfection and super fun designs too. Love ’em and thanks for playing along with us at Less is More this week. Sarah x
Goodness, but it is cold in Greece! Yep, you need those extra socks for sure. Sorry about your plant loss Marie. That stinks. I do however love your card!! It’s so cute and embossing the “body” of the ombre pig was a fabulous idea! Love, love, love! Hugs, Brenda
Marie, What a beautiful Ombre and love the embossed folder adds even more interest to the Ombre, beautiful cards both.
Absolutely so clever Marie! What a wonderful design, the added embossed texture was the perfect choice!
Hi Marie
Thank you so much for your very kind and generous comments on my blog. Here’s to a Healthy, Happy and Crafty 2017. Looking forward to seeing more of your amazing and creative cards too x You’ve been missed x
Having trouble e mailing you back so if you get this twice then that’s why xx
Sorry about the plants x
I must admit I fell in love with this sweet pig card, what a fun, creative design!
I just didn’t understand how you achieved this fab result – but now I do. Great card.
Happy New Year to you Marie and nice to see your latest creation. Love the piggy and the ombre colouring. I have hunted everywhere to get that embossing folder after seeing your card and it’s sold out! It really adds dimension. Sorry to hear about your plants.
Great to see you in our gallery, Marie. And I love your textured ombre piggy, such a fun clever card. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
Sweet little Ombre piggy Marie! hope the weather improves soon for you too 😉 Viv xx
