A Dabble a Day...

Almost Weekend!
I thought that might make us all feel better, including myself. I really wanted to play along with Less is More where it's stars and get my weekly dose of simplicity and space. I've been so busy lately, I've had to be super-quick, but this week I was determined to give it more time. I'm at home with a stomach bug, so feeling grotty and not up to much, which is a shame as I would love to be dabbling in my crafty den all day long. In between sleeping and feeling sorry for myself I got there.

I love this star stamp by Wendy Vecchi and was glad to play with it. I created a polka dotty frame which is slightly raised with foam-pads, using a big stamp by Darkroom Door. I stamped everything in Ranger Vermillion Archival ink

The base is Bazzill and I quite like how the texture shows through a little so it's not too perfect.

I actually made this one first and although I like the idea, I'm not mad on the blue and wish I'd gone for bright pink or something flashier! The frame is less raised this time and is stamped with a Wendy Vecchi stamp. Slightly more off to the left, to balance out the card. I wanted to highlight one star and thought the "1 of a kind" sentiment was just right.

I stamped an extra star and embossed it for a little sheen before sticking it on top. Just a little extra detail...

Also just one quick card for the weekly challenge at Everything Wendy Vecchi. I'm a bit late as I was totally Mojoless and feeling yuk, but came up with this simple design to use the heart theme. I thought I would combine several hearts on the corner to resemble a section of a flower.

All the busy times I mentioned were down to working on November's My Mojo Monthly which is always a labour of love. It's an inspirational feature and challenge and this month I'm really glad to have Jo Capper -Sandon as my featured artist! She's very talented and such a wonderful card designer. Why not read her interview and take a look at the project ideas...?! I've included a CAS card this month too...
Well, that's me done...I'm ready for a snooze again, the dirty stamps will have to wait. Thanks for calling by...have a great weekend!
