Challenge #476 - Use a Stencil

Hey LIMettes!

We're back with our latest challenge which is a Recipe challenge. 

**********************************************************

Unfortunately, we are seeing more cards in our gallery that are NOT Clean and Simple. We do ask that you check our guidelines for our challenge but here is a reminder -

Less is More is a Clean and Simple challenge, but what does clean and simple (CAS) mean and what are we looking for in your cards?
One main focal point
Lots of clean / open / non-patterned / non-textured space (often called 'white space' although not necessarily white) Space with NO PATTERN and NO TEXTURE on it
Minimal or NO layers
Minimal embellishments
Quick and easy to recreate
Cards that comply with our Glossary of Terms

**********************************************************
Now let's see what fantastic inspiration the design team have created for you and please do check out their personal blogs if you have the time as there could be a couple of bonus cards there!

Challenge #460 - Bit of Bling

Hey LIMettes!

We're back with our latest challenge which is

Before we get started, you may have seen that we had a DT call for the last two challenges. It certainly has been difficult to choose from all you amazing designers. We are really happy to have two more designers joining our team BUT WAIT because we are still deciding on a few more applicants. Thank you to every one who has applied - we will be in contact with those who are successful very shortly.

Two new designers? We sure have. You will agree that their CAS style is perfect for LIM :)

Please welcome -

Challenge 457 - Photo Inspiration

 Hey LIMettes!

Well it's that time of year again because we are giving the hardworking design team December off, so this is our last challenge of the year.  

It's also a time to say a huge 'thank you' and 'goodbye' to some of our members. We're very sad to be losing Izzy, and Elaine also moved on earlier in the year. They have given you all lots of inspiration during their time here. Sadly we will also be losing Anita, who has been with the challenge for many years. She has been a rock for myself, and Sarah when she ran the challenge, because Anita took on some of the background tasks in running the challenge. Her style helped firmly secure what CAS means for so many people. As you know, I (Sharon) will also be moving on but I will try to keep the challenge going until Kylie is ready to take over. I'm not sure what date things will be up and running in 2022 (it is dependent on lockdown situations and flights) so please pop in from time to time to see if there is any news on that.

Anyway, to the challenge. For a change we have a photo for you to take inspiration from.

Challenge #448 - CASe Card

Hey LIMettes!

For the latest challenge we have a card for you to CASe.  Today is all about our lovely Elaine as it's her birthday today, so we've asked her to create a project to inspire you.  Happy Birthday, Elaine, wishing you a wonderful day!

Here is Elaine's gorgeous creation which includes stamping, heat embossing and watercolouring, or you could choose the tile effect or the colours as your inspiration...

We can't wait to see where this takes you, and why not pop over to Elaine's blog and send her some happy wishes on her special day!
