Less is More 75 - Colour

Hi everyone and Good Afternoon

Hope the sun is still shining wherever you are.

Well I haven't managed to get a Less Is More card made for a few weeks, and I have missed it.  So I've tried my hardest to get one done for this week which is a colour theme and Chrissie and Mandi want us to use Gold.  I do like gold but don't use it very often.

However I saw this idea in Pinterest Here and just had to have a go at making a smaller version. Their pictures are amazing and look very time consuming.  When I saw it it was one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments...

It's basically different sizes of hearts cut out, folded and stuck down on one side (a bit fiddly, but I'm pleased with it).  I used Gold pearl paper and the sentiment is from Uniko Studio Fontiments stamp set that I've stamped and embossed in gold (not very clear).

Hope you like it.

Less is More - Week 71

Hi everyone

Hope you are all having a good weekend, the weather here is still rubbish.  My husband and kids have gone off camping in Bala, North Wales for a canoeing festival this weekend. They've met up with my brother in law and sister in law and two nephews and despite the weather they seem to be having a good time.

The reason I'm at home is that on Sunday I'm travelling down to Rugby for a crafty workshop with Jayne Nestorenko, the brains behind the Cute Companions and Adorables stamps and CD's.  I've been to a few now and they are wonderful and Jayne herself is a really really lovely person.

The house is really quiet without them, but I've managed to have a good sort out of my craft room and make my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge.  Mandi and Chrissie have challenged us this week to a one layer card using flourishes.  Here is my offering...

Due to the weather being so pants, its hard to get a good picture in natural light.  Think I'm going to invest in a light box!  The stamps and from Uniko Studio Fontiment Fancies - Swirls and Flourishes.  I've used just one stamp and gone round an imaginary circle alternating colours (I've used Memento Grape Jelly and Lulu Lavender - yes it's hard to tell but its purple).  The sentiment is from the Fontiments - Birthday set. I then went over the darker flourish with some ultra fine glitter.

Hope you like it.  Bye for now
