Who would have thought that 4 Years after Mandi and I began Less is More it would still be as popular as ever and gaining new followers almost by the day!
These days Mandi is the uber successful Wedding and Event organiser. Her shop 'Finishing Touches' in Ryde on the Isle of Wight has become SO successful under her ownership and she is incredibly busy, and although she no longer has the time to remain with Less is More she is still makes incredible Wedding Stationery as part of her Wedding service.
Anyway 4 years on Less is More is still going strong and this week is joined by several sponsors who are giving lots of goodies away!
So a good reason to join in.
Here are a few cards in keeping with the theme this week which is a colour challenge, namely
Pink and Grey!
These butterflies were cut from a sheet of card that I had inked with Distress Inks and allowed to dry. I then stamped some lined butterfly images randomly onto it and embossed in silver. The Memory Box butterfly die was used to cut shapes which were inlaid into the horizontal strip. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.
This one uses SU Gorgeous Grunge stamps in Grey and Pink and die cut with a Little B Heart Die.
The stitched dies are from Simon Says Stamp and the background is embossed with a Couture Creations EF.
More inlaid dies here, also from Simon Says Stamp. The horizontal strip has been clear embossed with a stamp from SU Confetti set. The main sentiment is a composite from Magenta stamps (Love) and Winnie and Walter (I & You). The scalloped edge is from Lawn Fawn.
This is the card I put on the LIM blog, details are over there!
Look at this dear little bunny isn't he the sweetest! He's from Avery Elle.
Just a little grey on this one, for the sentiment, which was computer generated.
The heart die is from Memory Box and the little butterfly from a Simon Says Stamp butterfly banner.
Well that was quite a bumper bundle, I hope you like them and decide to join in the challenge at Less is More this week!
Wow what an eye-popping, jaw-dropping and awesome exhibition of beauty Chrissie. You are rockin! Love each card and all the unique detail and techniques. THE queen of CAS!
