Single layer flower

The challenge at Less is More this week had to be a single layer with one flower or a tree, eventually came up with this card, the flower is a digi, and I painted it with LuminArte Plum Blossom and Moss Green, this is one if my first painted cards! the text was computer generated and the border I drew using Microsoft Publisher.

Pink Butterflies

I am using my lovely new Martha Stewart butterfly punch for this card, the sentitment was computer generated, I made this for the new 'Less is more' challenge, but think I might have put a bit too much on the card, I will try better next time :) also entering it for 2 other challenges:

Through the window

I started with embossing swiss dots onto white card and then matting that onto red, and then onto my base card, and placing red ribbon along the centre. This card was inspired from the video I watch on StampTV, I used my favourite stamp set again Stampin Up Lovely as a tree, stamped on and embossed with silver, then cut the image into 4 equal parts and stuck onto black card with small spaces left to give the window effect. This was then mounted with foam pads onto my prepared card. It fits the challenges-

Bah Humbug - Christmas window card
Shirley2girls - twist on red
The stampman - 2 colours
