Less is More challenge #362

Less is More is back for the new year, with a new twist - their challenges will now run for two weeks, rather than one!  Yay!  Slower people like myself will now have no excuse to join in - so I'm here for the first one of the year - a colour challenge and it is Purples!


Recipe:  Distress Oxides and Distress Inks sponged on panel of SU shimmer white card
Stamps:  SU Blooms and Wishes for panel and a retired SU set called Simply Sketched for the sentiment.
Die:  MFT zig zag border
Sequins from my stash.

    Very beautiful sympathy card. The clean, elegant look is perfect for a sympathy card and so is the stamped silhouette you chose. Beautiful layout and design. Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!

We all love shiny things I think, so this week's challenge at Less is More is a JOY!  Here is my card, which will add to my Christmas stash. Hard to see the shine, but the next view might be better. I die cut the Joy to the World Wreath by Cheery Lyn, and inlaid it back into the white card front.  It seems to suit the CAS style better this way.  The shiny sentiment is cut from silver mirror card, mounted to self adhesive foam - as you can see in the shiny photo - no messy glue to spoil the effect! While visiting the LIM blog, I realised that my card would also qualify for the current  Muse challenge.   This is the first time I have entered, so here are their rules: Use  the inspiration card as a starting point - strictly speaking, I found my card fits the criteria after I had made it, but the links are - metallic sentiment, scattered berries, and a stitched border to frame the panel.

The challenge at LIM this week is to use washi - how lucky for me that yesterday I tried CASEing a card I saw on Etsy which used a single wooden button on a small notecard.  I didn't use a wooden button, but a die I've had for ages, with WASHI on cardstock - - woo hoo! So I'm ready early today - Sunday morning here in Australia, with temps in the 30s! Cardstock cut 18cm x 9cm for a top fold 9 x 9cm (3.5" x 3.5") Stamp is a freebie from Cardmaking and Papercraft Issue 165 - love the fonts Die is by Simon Says Stamp - Partial Cut Flowers Button die is a set of 3 by Joy!
