A simple card with 3 punched out squares revealing the coloured inner. The Bee image is the tiny Bee that is part of a double stamp(Medium Bee plus Tiny Bee on the side) from my range at Stampotique. The other stamp in the set is a larger version of the same image. A very handy duo. The wording is also one of my collection 'World All Her Own'.
I had a go at making a few more quick makes whilst I had the cards and stamps out... This one is a one layer card using one of Stampotiques Quails Cube (you get four different Quails...the clues in the name...cube...lol) and the Wish word. I pencilled in a shadow reflection from the word to give the image a bit of solidity and substance.
As it happens Less is More challenge are running a OLC Fur and Feathers theme...does this count? Its a bird? But its feathers are squared lol I drew the heart hanging from it's beak. in hind sight I should have stopped with the ink pad to card method when it was just on the right hand corner...but stupidly I did a swoosh on the spine of the card which was an 'epic fail!' as my 9 year old would say. :0) Live and learn.

Brilliant set of cards - think first is my favourite too
These are three lovely cards! I especially like your chicken. Great inking! I just know that if I tried to get that level of subtlety, I'd get it wrong. Oh - and I LOVE the name of your blog! Brilliant! Hugs, Lesley
Super duper collection - hard to pick a fave you know!
Happy Saturday

lovely Jo - the background paper on the first card really sets off the whole thing and how effective is the shadowing on the "wish" stamp?!
wow those are so simple and beautiful.EE
Love all of your cards, Jo. You did a fantastic job keeping it CAS!
All three cards are fabulous, but the first one is my favourite xx
Brilliant cards, especially like the 'wish' one!

Hi Jo
Your LIM card is fabulous and certainly acceptable as feathers...chequered or otherwise!
The shadow effect, inspired
Thanks very much

Fab cards, Jo. I particularly love the simplicity of the squares card. I am a huge fan of squares :0)
love them all Jo, simply brilliant oxo
Love your square aperture card, really effective with the peek a boo colour showing through.
Your epic fail is only noticeable to you! You'd have got away with that one - infact lets be honest you have got away with it, it's a fab card ;o)
Brilliant third card too!

Lovely cards there Jo, but I have to say the Bee one is my favourite, but you didn't need me to say that ey! Gotta love my bees!
xx
Truly fabulous cards. What a flash of creativity with the punched out squares and the stamped bee - you are so inventive and original.So too are the other two cards - love the chicken - I have that stamp - so should have a go at using one of the others in the set. And your last one - well she's a stunner.
I think my favourite - by a feather - is the cut out squares one - as I've not seen one like it before xx
Great cards, love the first one with the splash of color behind your squares.
these are lovely elegant, clean cards. Great !
By the way I went to Itkupulli website for some help.
I think I got it, if you have trouble email me. maybe I can help
Great set of cards, the quail one is my favorite, the wish stamp is stunning.
A fab trio. Love how you've decorated the inside of the square one and the quirky quail is definitely not a fail! x
