Just a Little Note to Say Hi

Hello.
I managed to carve out some free time in my craft room this morning, and made this card to play along with the Inkspirational challenge, where they would like to see a CAS style.

I die cut the rainbow and coloured it with Copics  - choosing those colours took me the longest time!
Then I stamped and fussy cut the bears and popped them up with foam pads. 
At the last minute I added some sequins - I know - it's supposed to be CAS -  but they were calling to me from inside a drawer!

It's the Little Things

Thank you to everyone here and on Insta, that sent their ideas for getting back into the craft room. The general consensus seemed to be, just relax, go with the flow, don't put yourself under any pressure and do what you love.

I love die cutting and creating simple scenes, with little critters. So, that had me reaching for my Clearly Besotted stash.

I fussy cut these cute critters, and popped them up with foam pads against some die cut pumpkins.

I almost added an inky background, but, as this is for the Less Is More Challenge, I stopped myself just in time ;o)

Wild and Free

Oh, to be on the open road.
That's where my SIL and BIL are right now. Travelling their way around France and having a wonderful adventure. It was a no brainer to ink up this camper van for my BIL's birthday.

This is one of those sets that I struggle to stamp. The ink just pools on the stamp. I've tried the eraser tip, and the versamark tip, but if you have any other ideas let me know. I won't even go into how tricky it is to line up. But I almost got it right :-)
The van is layered 3 times for some extra depth, the sentiment is white heat embossed and I added some little details with a white gel pen.

1, 2, 3, and I'm back in the room

Hello.
How is everyone? I'm finally back in my craft room after 5 long months.
Moving house is HARD. All in all, it took us almost a year from start to finish. So, if anyone is going through the process, hang on in there.

I've totally forgotten what to do. What size to make my cards, how to ink, how to post!! So, it's back to the basics for me. And...  what have I missed? What's in? What's out? Let me know.

I kept things simple here for a masculine, remembrance day card. 

I used die cut strips of card and layered the sentiment 3 times for some added depth.

I know the photo is a bit dark. Bare with me, as I test every room in the house, and a multitude of backgrounds to try and get a decent shot.
