It's Week 26 at Less is More and because there were five Saturdays in July we have a "lucky dip" challenge this week - Feeling Fruity.
I had some die cut squares out on my desk (because I'd been cutting apertures for a project rather than cutting the squares themselves) and I thought they'd make a good basis for a "fruit machine" card teamed up with some cherries and a simple sentiment. Does this kind of fruit machine exist anymore? I remember there being one in our local chippie when I was a kid!
I put the squares back in to the die and ran a fine line marker around the inside, stamped and coloured the cherries and then stuck them to the card with foam pads over a strip of black card as the "winning line" to anchor them.
Stamps:
Kitchen Classics (Clear Art Stamps by Crafty Secrets) plus sentiment from a HOTP set.
Paper: smooth white, black
Ink: Brilliance by Tsukineko (Graphite Black)
Other: Copic markers, Nestabilities by Spellbinder, Crop-a-Dile

Fab card

Cherries are such a pretty fruit. I've been scoffing them like sweets just now when they are in season. Love your clean card and the fruit machine idea is a fun one.
This is a delicious looking card! Love the cherries and the way you have placed them.
This card certainly hits the jackpot.
Love this Joanne, it's so crisp and clean xx
