New Challenge at Less Is More!


Hi friends!

It's time for the first Less Is More challenge of 2019 and it's a special one: we have three new DT members joining us! A warm welcome to  Kylie, Michelle and Stephanie

Our first challenge of 2019 is a Theme challenge: Water. 


We also have a new fabulous sponsor: 


Skull and Cross Buns are sponsoring us for the whole month of January. 

Then, let's see what I made!

I decided to use this cute piggie-image from Hero Arts... He looks so adorable playing in the water. I must say I hate how this turned out! LOL! I tried new paper for my pencils and I did not make it work yet... There's strikes all over my coloring. Also the colors showed up so strong that for example the color of the pig is very strange. It's quite ok in the picture but IRL... Not cute. :) I do love love love the Hero Arts image though! Other than stamping the image and sentiment, die cutting the rectangles and coloring the image, that was all there is to this card. Added some clear drops to represent water droplets. 

My DT friends have lots of inspiration for you, don't miss any of it, click HERE

That's such a cute little image, Nonni ... love those polka dot boots this little guy has on ... I think he's so rosy because he's been making such an effort to play in that puddle!! Hugs, Anita :)

I just love this Nonni and I think your colouring looks amazing! Seeing strong colours on a Kraft backgrounds really makes images pop, so for me this card is tremendous. That piggie is incredibly cute and adorable and the way your design oozes that 'white' space is fantastic. I'm sorry that you were disappointed with how this one turned out. I love it. Have a wonderful weekend my friend xx

Hi Nonni! I am so excited to be joining you and all of the other incredible artists on the LIM DT!!! Your post just cracked me up! One thihng to remember is that this is art and if you have a hot pink pig, so be it!!! I think your coloring is wonderful here, and that image is so adorable, you can't go wrong no matter what you do! Love the kraft base and the dew drop embellishments are fab. xx
