We're celebrating at Less is More today.It's our second birthday and we have been delighted with the following of over 1700 crafters which we are lucky enough to have.
The standard of submissions is wonderful giving lots of inspiration.
This card used a Marianne die, Stampin' Up's Vintage Vogue Flowers and a retired SU sentiment/ The base piece of cream card was merely crimped.
This one uses the stamp I designed for Craft Stamper Magazine and which was on the front cover in September last year.
It was heat embossed onto the little tile and then inked with SU Crumb Cake ink, applied with a sponge dauber. I then clear embossed the whole thing and added the pearls.
I have only two cards this week, as I have spent 4 days down at my daughter's new house...cleaning!
Floors have been steam mopped, carpets 'Vaxed', windows 'Karchered' (this window cleaning machine is amazing!), paintwork washed and sanitised and I'm now suitably exhausted. I gave up on the ovens and so my daughter has called in the Oven Rescue man... they were completely beyond me, how anyone could contemplate cooking anything in such filthy appliances completely escapes me!
We also made up a chest of drawers from Ikea. All in all a busy few days!
She has a little decorating to do and then will be moving in with the children. She can't wait!
I hope you all can manage to join in with the colour challenge at Less is More in this birthday week, for our Kraft and Kreme CAS colour challenge.
