Morning friends it's that time on a Saturday for us to reveal this week's challenge
at Less Is More! What's more it's a 5-Saturday month which means it's a
Lucky Dip and we have a guest designer too.
Kylie (Happy Little Stampers) who is generously sponsoring our
challenges this month has agreed to be our guest designer and being an
Aussie, we decided to honour Kylie with a Down Under theme!
Please keep your design clean and simple and explain your inspiration
for 'Down Under' unless it's kind of obvious like mine!
Ok probably the most recognisable Australian skyline ... but in the
absence of other 'Down Under' symbols in my stash I had to go with it!
It's from the Bon Voyage set by Clearly Besotted and I've masked the image
before stencilling the sun rays using a Tim Holtz stencil with distress inks.
The panel is die-cut using an MFT Die-Namics Stitched Square die and the
sentiment is from the same Clearly Besotted set.
where it's an Anything Goes theme.
Having never been to Australia despite having long-standing friends who
constantly ask us to visit, I imagine it's one big beach, with beautiful blue seas,
bright sunlight every day. Basically summer all year round with lines of flip-flops
(or thongs as the Aussie's call them) lining the beaches! Idyllic YEP!
So with that picture in mind my card uses the Clearly Besotted: On The Beach set,
with a sentiment from Design a Tree and the Rounded Tag die, also CBS.
The die-cut sun is from Lil'Inkers and distress inks to create the 'sea' with a
torn frothy / wavy edge. The flip-flops are watercoloured with Distress inks and
drizzled with glossy accents. I couldn't resist adding a couple of sequins for added sparkle.
That's all I've got for Down Under but I've no doubt you'll WOW us
with your creations this week and I can't wait to see what you've got!
There's more inspiration from Kylie and the Design Team on the main blog
HERE
and I'm sure they'd love you to visit them at their own blogs too.
Thanks as always for stopping by and I'll be back tomorrow with the
latest challenge details for AAA Cards.
