Less is more challenge

Hi all
I hope that you are all enjoying your weekend. It poured most of the day yesterday on the South coast but today is currently lovely and sunny.
The ladies at the Less is More challenge( http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/) have set us quite a challenge this week. It is a one layer card with the theme of a film. So I racked my brains to think of a stampset that I have that could possibly be linked to a film.
I came up with The Sound of Music. I black embossed the musical notes and then spritzed the card with silver before finally using the paper piercer and one of the Festive piercing pack to make a shaped outline.
The stamp is from the stampset Natures Pace from the current catalogue which has 6 stamps in it. The wood set costs £21.95 and the clear set costs £17.95 . If you would like to order it please get in touch.
Yesterday Aly and I held one of our Stampin up workshops where we showed the ladies several projects which they then made. Pleas come back later in the week to see what we produced.
Until next time

    A brilliant take on the Film title Margaret, and the paper piercing is a beautiful finishing touch.

Lovely as a tree

Both the Less is More Challenge and the Simply Stampin Challenge have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week.
The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
