Less is More - Week 21

This is my card for challenge 21 at 'Less is More' which is a sketch challenge.  I used a strip of Doodlebug paper matted on to a strip of pink card on which I used my Fiskars Threading Water punch.  I've had this punch for a while but haven't used it.  When I first bought it I didn't really 'get' how it worked.  Since then I've bought a couple of the Martha Stewart punches and realised the principle is the same.  I saw the Fiskars one used on a card in a magazine last week and decided to get mine out to have another go!

The main stamped image is one of 'Claire's Sentiments' from Little Claire Designs which I stamped and coloured.  The two little cupcakes either side are from a Do Crafts set and I punched them out with my circle punch - again neglected since I bought my Nestabilities but it was just the right size for this card.

I'd like to enter the card in the following challenges:

Moving Along With the Times - 'clean and simple'

Shopping Our Stash - 'tools of the trade' (my two punches)

Less is More - I followed the sketch

Cupcake Craft Challenges - 'cooking up a storm'

Little Claire Designs - Challenge 10

Challenge 10 at Little Claire Designs is now online and our theme is 'pink and brown' - probably one of my favourite colour combinations!  You can find all the details, some inspiration from the DT and the winners of the last challenge on the blog here.

For my card I've used the main image from 'The Right Time' stamp set which you can find here with one of the 'Claire's Sentiments' stamps which matches the owl design perfectly - you can see the full set here.

The paper I've used is from Doodlebug and I also used some brown ribbon and some Card Candy.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's pink and brown cards for the challenge!
