Framed card

I'm back to blogging again, I don't know where the last 3 months has gone, well there was Christmas and also a holiday in Egypt, have made a few cards that needed to get straight out but never got the the camera.
Less is More challenge this week was a framed card, I have layered the yellow and green balloons and embossed them with clear powder to give a bit of interest.

In a row

I found this challenge at Less is More difficult this week, or perhaps its because there is a lot going on at the moment, but managed to produce this.

Memory box poppy

I love this memory box die.  This photograph doesn't do it justice, the poppy is cut from mirror card, and its for the Less is More challenge, where they want to see sparkles or shine.

Flowering Christmas tree

Week 72 for the Less is More challenge this week is a theme, and the theme is 'Shiny'.  I used a Memory Box die called flowering Christmas Tree, not easy to photograph today with all this rain! I also used a Friskars border punch, sorry Chrissie and Mandy not as much white space as I would have liked.

One layer card

This is 2 firsts for me, sponging and masking, I have used 3 stamps from the same set, they have all been embossed, was unsure about a sentiment so left it out.
I am entering the card for 2 challenges, Less is More where it has to be a one layer card and 3 stamps had to be used. And for One Layer Wednesday where the stamped area has to be no larger than 2" X 2".

Neutrals

Week 57 at Less is More and Mandi and Chrissie are asking us to make a card with Neutral colours, not my favourites, it means no white! and I always start with a white card, well I guess its good to do things sometimes you dont like, so I have given it a try.

Sorry but not that good a photograph, no sun today! but the card it cream, and the colour of the branch is brown and the text is the same colour, the flowers are dark brown and for the centres of the flowers I used cream pearlised card, it doesnt show in the photo.
Sometimes my cards wont enlarge when they are posted, if anyone can tell me why this is I would be very grateful, lets hope this one will.
