Less is More #319

Hello!

Thank you for stopping by today as we start another challenge at Less is More :)  This week we are making one layer cards and the theme is leaves.


This was a good opportunity to use a Neat and Tangled stamp which I have not inked up before:

 
I stamped and masked two leaves and coloured them with pencils.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. 
 
 
I decided to make a card just with the foliage images from Altenew's Beautiful Day set and stamped them in a wreath.  The sentiment is from the same set. 
 
A quick and simple post from me but I hope you like my two leafy designs.  The talented DT have lots more ideas to share with you over at Less is More
 
I hope you stop by again soon,

  1. LOVE the greens on the leaves on the first card, Sarah. The shadowing around the centre veins looks great! Your idea of using just foliage stamps on the second card is so elegant and a really distinctive look. Fabulous! Have a great weekend x

  4. These are fantastic, Sarah. The mod leaves are beautifully colored and turning those Altenew leaves into a wreath was such a great idea I may have to try it. Thanks for the inspiration.

  6. Your colour pencil work on the first card is breathtaking Sarah and those leaves have a fab graphic look to them. It's a super CAS layout too. I think your idea of using just the foilage on the second card is tremendous! We all overlook those items in our stamp sets and you proved they can make such an elegant card.
