CR84FN 19, Less is More, Simply Create

Hi all, I have a little 10x10 card today, I was sorting through my stash, and found a lot of card blanks unused and unloved! So I set to inspired by the wonderful colour palette from CR84FN and the Less is More challenge, which I have been meaning to get round to all week, but never quite got there, Simply Create challenge which wants a monochromatic scheme, and One Stop Craft Challenge, which wants Clean and simple.

Here is the colour inspiration:




And here is my CAS card.




I have used a white linen card base, and stamped the beautifully decorative frame from Waltzingmouse Stamps Very Vintage Labels No. 3 in Versamagic Turquoise Gem and Night Sky, taking it over the back of the card, and off the edge, which is the requirement for this weeks LIM challenge.



The sentiment and side flourishes are from WMS Afternoon Tea Sentiments set, stamped in Encore Metallic Silver. Apologies for the rather dull pictures, the light is awful today, no sun just heavy grey cloud and rain :-(



Inside I stamped the sentiment from WMS Sweethearts set, and the flourishes as above. Finished off the front with 4 turquoise gems, I just couldn't help myself! That frame is crying out for gems pearls and colouring!!



It's Red Nose Day here in the UK, which is a 'do something funny for money' day for charity - so all the children at our school have gone in their pyjamas, and it's raining! Then when school finishes, there's a big cake sale, where all us lovely mums have slaved over baking tins to donate cakes, so we can give the children money to buy them back again! Well, it's for charity!

And I have decided to donate all the cards I have made in my stash to our local community hospital's League of Friends, so they can sell and keep any money made for the hospital and League funds. So, feeling quite charitable now, which in turn makes me thirsty so I'm off to have a cuppa.

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline xx
