Less is More 91

It's a rainy Halloween in Northwest Washington.  We're quite used to trick-or-treating in the rain around these parts!  I found a little bit of time the other night to make a couple of cards for Less is More 91, which is a sketch challenge from Chrissie.

For the first card I stamped a cheap Studio G stamp onto PTI rustic white cardstock and a piece of patterned paper from my scrap box.  I paper pieced the leaves and cut the squares out before mounting them on a rustic white card base.  It was a little blah, so I added some random bling.  Unusual for me, but I quite like the results.  The sentiment is from PTI lovely layers; I've used it quite a lot.



I rotated the sketch for my second card.  I embossed Hero Arts woodland scene in clear before sponging over the top with blues and purples.  I cut the scene into three divisions and mounted them on blue cardstock.  The sentiment is from Penny Black.


Our thoughts are with all those along the Eastern Seaboard who are dealing with the aftermath of Sandy.

Thanks for your visit today.

    Trick-or-treating in the rain...growing up I don't know that I realized there was any other kind ;P I must admit I actually prefer going in the snow - at least I don't get soaked.
    I love those leaves - absolutely gorgeous how they look like they're dancing while they fall! The bling is perfect :)
    And the blue trees? So soft & gorgeous!

    Both are beautiful, Ann, but I am quite taken with the leaf card. Well, duh, I love leaf cards, but in this case, you've made them really special with that bling which looks like dew drops. Fantastic!!

    Just gorgeous work Ann, it's amazing how rotating the images in the first one gives the effect of tumbling leaves.
    Super stuff!
    Thanks so much
