Less is More - Thread

Went to the gym today...another hour on the stationary bike...I really, really need to get my bike fixed as it is so hard to be on that bike for 16 miles!  At least I was able to do some exercises for my shoulder, so much better!

We have another challenge starting over at Less is More.  Our theme for this week is Thread!  Such a fun idea!  Come on over and see what the other team members came up with...also hope you play along as we would love to see what you come up with!

Here is my take on the challenge...

I started by die cutting the series of dots across the top of the card.  I then stamped and colored my images using copic markers.  Then stamped my sentiment.

I added thread to the card and decided to pop up the ornaments on foam tape to give a bit of dimension.

I added a bit of wink of stella to the ornaments for a bit of shine.

I will make a few more of these cards for the holidays and will likely only have two hanging ornaments instead of three!





Here's a close up of the card so you can see some of the dimension.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

  3. Hanging the ornaments from the row of dots at the top is a great idea, Susan! I love those cute elves and your colouring is perfect as always. I would need a long lie down after an hour on the bike - take it easy :)
