One layer with legs - oh er!!!!!

The Less is More Challenge ladies Chrissie and Mandi continue to vex us and most definitely challenge us.  This week is no exception as you need to produce a card with a single layer of cardstock and include something with legs.  I decided to use my All in the Family stamp set which has set on my shelf for a while now, but I've remembered today why I bought it, it's great fun and you can create all sorts of folk with it.  It's also full of legs which has helped with this challenge.  My sentiment is made up of a retired rub on for the 'family' and the 'from our' is part of a stamp from the US set Sweet Season which was a gift last Christmas from a US friend.

I used my stamp a ma jig to get all the legs and arms etc in place and then I've coloured the figures in using my pastels, an aqua painter and blender pen.  These too are something that I've not used in a while and so thanks Chrissie and Mandi for indirectly getting me to use them. 

A reminder that there's still time to win a big shot from me as I'm celebrating being the first UK Miss Big Shot and want to share my success with you.  Click here for more details on how you might  take advantage of my success.  Also please don't forget to visit St Luke's Charity Card Challenge where you can make a difference.

Back soon with more.
