Three Birdhouses

Hello, friends!  I'm here today with a card I made for the current Less Is More challenge using the following sketch:


My initial response was to think about what I could do with three circles, but I decided I couldn't really do anything new that others haven't probably already done (and done very well!).  SO, I decided to interpret the sketch a little more loosely...and here is what I came up with:

Materials Used:  Stampendous (P026) "Home Tweet Home;"
Hero Arts (S5215) "Clouds;"
colored pencils

I interpreted the branch and leaves as the "grey" section of the sketch, with the three yellow bird houses as the three "circles."  I stamped the clouds first, then stamped the image and colored with colored pencils.  A simple one-layer card...my favorite kind.

I'm happy to be able to play again at Less Is More...it's been a while because of the wrap up of school and work (and now the clean up from both!).  I hope to be able to start leaving some comments again...thanks for being patient with me!  Sometimes I have to get in line to get on a computer around here ... it's tough competing with four computer-literate kids!

Have a great day...thanks for stopping by!
Judy

EDIT TO POST:  I apologize...I realize now I stamped a background and the challenge requires white space...therefore I am withdrawing this entry from the current Less Is More challenge.  Sorry for the inconvenience!

  2. Not a lot of white space this time Judy, we seem to have cloud space instead!
