Finally.......

OK I've been stalking those awesomely talented girls over at Less is More since their first challenge. Week in week out I'm blown away by the creations and keep promising myself that I'll play along too. The only thing that gets in my way is that little thing called time!!! Well this week I've finally done it - I've got a card to enter into the challenge which is "pick a square".

Now I'm hoping that my entry will be accepted, if not then no worries I at least know where I've fallen down! I'll stop me yabbering now and get on and show ya what I've been upto....


The background has been created using Distress Inks and then spritzed with some Perfect Pearls in water. The Hero Arts stamp has been stamped with Memento Ink and then Gold Stickles have been applied to the flower heads. The sentiment is from Ladybug Crafts Ink

If I get time later, I might just be back with a couple more of these cards, but don't go holding your breath!

Thanks for stopping by.

  6. I love the way your card turns out. The background is just perfect. I would almost ask you if it is possible to make a tutorial. Since i found the challenge from Less is More and the free e-zine from craftstampers i am playing the whole time with my inks and stamps. I wish i could make a background like yours.
