A bit of bling for "Less is More"

A very 'me' card for "Less is More"... a little robin with a bit of twinkle in his beak!
We've had our grandchildren staying for a few days during our daughter's house move... they are wonderful... but very tiring, so this post s going to be very short... I have to grab moments for blogging when I can!
This is a trifle more blingy, using a fab SU set... Delicate Doilies and a bunch of embossing powder!
Sorry this is short and sweet but I need my beauty sleep...  I need to schedule this as I'll probably have my hands full with little ones in the morning!!
DO join in our challenge..we love to see your creations!

    Both fabulous cards but that robin is just adorable - my kind of card.
    Sounds like you've got your hands full but I bet you're thoroughly enjoying time spent with your grandchildren - and remember you get to hand them back !!!

    Hi Chrissie

    You've managed to do two cards, run LIM blog and look after the grandchildren - I'm worn out just reading it!!!

    Love your two cards this week. The doilies are just gorgeous aren't they.

    Take care

    I love your robin and doilies card. The deep red you've chosen for the robin is so perfect. You deserve a good night's sleep after turning out these beauties.

    Hope you're still hanging on in there... I used to offer to play pirates with the boys when they were small and I was tired - I'd arrange myself on the floor and say I was a shipwreck and could often snatch a few moments of shut eye!

    Your cards are both lovely - I like the corner sentiment on the second but my favourite of course is that adorable robin! Vx

    Chrissie - Sorry I'm so late with commenting. I'm playing catch-up while all you ladies in the UK are sleeping. :)

    Love both cards, but especially the doilies. The pink on black is beautiful. The card looks more like framed artwork than a card. Not that cards are not artwork ...

    Great challenge, looking forward to tomorrows challenge.
