A SKETCH AT LESS IS MORE


Hi lovely bloggers!  What a wet and windy day -  I hope you are all safe and well, wherever you are. 
***** 
Chrissie and Jen have given us a fab. sketch to work with this week at
  Less Is More. and the sketch must be followed "as is".  Pop over for all the details and some gorgeous card inspiration.



Recipe ~
Cardstock - SU Crumb Cake and Real Red
Heart, and Square "Stamp" dies - Cuttlebug
Linen thread - SU
Sentiment - Anna Griffin
Charm from my stash
*******
The definition of LOVE is from my tatty old Pudsey Grammar School dictionary (and I'm talking 50+ years old)!   I have occasionally cut out parts of the original pages to use on cards, but it seems like sacrilege, so I
photocopied this one, and added some Antique Linen DI. Much less stressful! 
Does anyone else feel bad about cutting old book pages? 
PS: you can read the definition if you click to enlarge!

Happy Crafting peeps
Hugs ~

I can't cut into a book - whether I think it's ever going to get rad again or not - can't right in text books either - just doesn't seem right. Your card is very elegant, sweet images and a nice clean sketch.

Hi Sylvia...

What a perfect card for the LIM challenge... and a lovely valentines card!! Love that layout.

And yes, I feel bad about cutting anything up.... I bought some old music from a charity shop to use as backgrounds to distress... and can I bring myself to cut it?? Can I heck!

Big Hugs

This is so classy, Sylvia. i love all the different panels. The photocopied page looks great. You'd never know it wasn't the original and like you say, it's far less stressful.
Hope you've kept safe in the wind today, it's been strong hasn't it?
hugs Lisax
