This is my second post of the day. If you are looking for my 12 Kits of Occasions post, please scroll down or click here.
It has been forever since I have played at Less is More, and I don't know why, because I love this challenge. The sketch this week is such a fabulous one, so I made a card to play along. I am also linking up at Seize the Birthday Anything Goes, and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Say it With Stamps. The finished size of this card is 4 3/4 square. I don't normally make square cards, but I really liked this sketch just as it was. I am feeling very 'Ardyth' now.
My next card is made possible by the generosity of my sweet stamping buddy Tracey, who sent me Lawn Fawn leaf die cuts in all the fall colors. I am entering it into this week's CAS-ual Friday's CFC115, Addicted to CAS ATCAS #23: Autumn/Fall, as well as Seize the Birthday Anything Goes, and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Say it With Stamps.
Finally, I have a thank you card using Fanciful Feathers (WPlus9) using this week's CAS(E) this Sketch CTS #47, and I am also linking up at Simon Says Monday Challenge: Say it With Stamps.

Well Joyce, I like all of these cards but the feather card is such a great take on the photo...so unexpected to see feathers in place of the squiggly lines. I also really like those flowers stamped within the stitched circle.
ReplyDeleteYou have made three awesome cards, Joyce! The birthday card with the circle window and the poppies from Reason to smile really makes me smile! Fabulous design and execution of the sketch! So glad you entered it in Seize the Birthday Challenge!!
ReplyDeleteWow you have been busy. Funny I made a card for Less is more today as well. I am not too happy with it ,not sure if I will redo it . Love yours though so pretty with the flowers. Your fall is gorgeous,I love those leaves and used them for my OWH cards. The feather card is perfect! Love the colors of that one too.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful cards... your LIM card is SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much

Love the frame you've made for the first card, the autumn leaves are fab colours and you've stamped those feathers so well.
ReplyDeleteAmazing cards, Joyce! I especially love the feather card, great colors.
ReplyDeleteLove the feathers - terrific stamping & gorgeous colors!
ReplyDeleteWonderful as always Joyce - the clean framed flowers , the wood grain emboss with the pretty colored fall leaves, and those perfectly stamped feathers - I love the layered ends on the sentiment banner.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I think that last one is my favorite. I love the colors and the bold design!
ReplyDeleteA trio of brilliant cards, Joyce ... such a pretty one with the flowers (so perfectly stamped!), lovely texture and rich colours on the leaves and these glorious feathers are back ... love them! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, the daisies in the first card are beautiful set in the circle and I love the faux stitching. The leaf card is a lovely clean and simple design and the feathers are very striking. Love your sentiments too. Thanks so much for joining in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Tracy x
ReplyDeleteLove all three cards Joyce but probably the leaves card the most. I see you got yourself all the stitched dies. Boy would we be in trouble if we lived closer together - between the two of us, we seem to have bought everything out there!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards. Love the window cutout on your birthday card and pretty flowers. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteThree amazing cards Joyce!I think that sketch is awesome and your square card it too. The stitched circle adds so much to it. You used those leaf dies beautifully makingn them falls down the side. Finally your Fanciful Feathers are perfect in blue, grey and red! Beuno!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Joyce. I love Lil Inkers!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards! Love the flowers in the circle frame and the wonderful woodgrain and leaves. My favorite is the feather design. Such a great interpretation of the sketch and I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful cards! The leaves 'falling' down the side of your fall-inspired birthday card are awesome. And the woodgrain background is perfect. Thanks so much for joining us at Seize the Birthday!
ReplyDeleteAll of these cards are lovely. I do love how the leaves seem to be 'falling' down the side and the woodgrain background is perfect! Thanks so much for joining us at Seize the Birthday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Joyce...but all of your cards are. I love your circle card, so pretty with those sweet flowers in the center. Your fall card is fabby too...and your final card using those amazing feathers, so fun and those colors, just stunning!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, all of your cards are beautiful! Those cascading leaves are gorgeous. Thanks for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteI just caught up on your last five or so posts and you have been BUSY! I love all the stitching to make the window for the sweet flowers. I love the cascade of leaves! And those feathers are a perfect border (and such bold colors) for CAS(E) this Sketch - thanks for joining us!
