"Less is More" Recipe

The recipe at "Less is More" this week is to include some metal on your card!
There seems to be lots which could be added, but I have gone with a buckle  for one card and a charm for the other!
I really love the simplicity of this one.. almost to the point of thinking that I haven't done much to make it... but the main feature of CAS is knowing when enough is enough... and I think that this has enough! The die is from Tattered Lace!
This is also for the challenge at CASology



This card is another simple one with a Memory Box Golf Landscape die coloured with alcohol markers, mounted on a scored panel, with a Fiskars punched edge. The metal charm is suspended on some baker's twine and the sentiment and its tag are from Stampin' Up!

  5. Both lovely cards Chrissy but the one with the buckle is awesome.
    Really love that one. It is as you say you have to know when it's enough. That's the difficulty for me. Still haven't figured that out completely. Thanks for the inspiration.
