The challenge over on Less is More this week is 3 squares
This was my first card
I used a square 'background' stamp that I inked with distress inks.
The 2 outside squares I used the stamp square on but for the middle square I tilted it making it a diamond shape which fitted the seahorse stamp beautifully.
The left hand square I stamped using the feebie stamp from Craft Stamper mag
and used this Happy Birthday stamp from Penny Black on the right hand square.
This is the second card...
I had stamped out a practice before stamping straight onto the card for the last card
and not wanting to waste .....
cut out the practice stamping & stamped just using the images this time.
note that I popped one of the images 'upside down' for added interest.
I mounted them onto a piece of silver 'netting'
and to finish stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment
straight onto the card.
My 3rd card in the 3 squares madness series
is this one for hubby's Aunties birthday ............
The first square is a beautiful yellow mulberry paper which was a present from a friend over in Japan
it's so fresh & spring like
The image is a Penny Black stamp, coloured with my copics
The border was done with a copic 0.8 outline pen.
So there you have it .............. my 3 squares madness!! :-)

3 fabulous cards Racehl - love the distressed inks and the images. Hugs, Claire x
Well done you x 3!
I'm not sure which is my favourite, maybe no 2, but I think that the idea of using the test pieces is brilliant... I have been known to try that before!
Thanks so much for a super challenge entry and see you next time.

WOW Rachel you have been busy...have you got square eyes LOL
I love the second one, which goes against the grain of loads of white space, but it just works superbly!
Thanks you for joining us again

Fab stuff, you obviously hit a rich seam with this challenge! Love the seaside ones and the netting is a great addition on the second one of those - great job!
Great cards Rachel, think number 2 is my fave - like the netting.
great cards #2 is my fav though
Three smashers but I think I prefer #2 too

The second card is my favourite too. The background stamp is really effective.
Card no 2 is winging it's way via Royal Mail to Scotland for nephews birthday :-)
I hadn't used the background stamp for a while but was so please to rediscover it & it's friend - think it will be getting more use now :-)
Hi
All your cards are super. I'm probably going against the grain but I like the first one best. x
