The current theme of 'Up, up and away' over at Less is More has loads of potential this week. I hauled out ordinary balloon stamps, hot air balloon stamps and dies, birds, butterflies, insects - you name it, I checked it out! Then I remembered a 'never before used' stamp - about four years old I think - and this was the result:
I used:
- 6" x 4" white card blank, tent style
- LOTV rubber stamp called 'Blowing Bubbles', stamped using Memento 'London Fog' ink pad and coloured using Pro markers
- the sentiment is also LOTV, from their ever so useful set called 'General Greetings - Small', stamped using Memento 'London Fog'. I did remember to stamp the sentiment before spending time colouring :)
- rounded the bottom left corner using We Are Memory Keepers Corner Chomper
- I did this card as a one layer card (how that would have scared me at one time before playing in Less is More) - and of course the Pro markers bled through the card a bit. I just cut a slightly smaller panel of white card, rounded one corner in keeping with the card front and stuck it inside the front
Simples! I like the idea of the bubbles blowing up, up and away, as a change from all the other things I first had in mind :)

This is just an adorable card, and I just spoke with my DGD who is celebrating her 5th birthday today and she was gushing over the new bubble blowing machine she got for a present! It must be world bubble day today :)

Super card...so cute and oh so brave...one layer! It is truly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDi this little elephant blowing his bubbles is simply too cute for our challenge this week! I can't move on as he's so beautiful. perfectly coloured, perfectly CAS and simply perfect. Thanks so much for playing along at Less is More. Sarah x
ReplyDeleteVery, very sweet. One layer cards still scare me but it is because of the sheer amount of designer paper I have in my house. It is scary to not use it (because it might take over).
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute LOTV stamp Di and just perfect for the LIM challenge. You have coloured it so prettily too. A beautiful CAS card. x
ReplyDeleteThis little elephant is just a cutie! Love how the rounded bubbles becomes an heart, very sweet idea and lovely result!
