Less is More

Hi all, today I have a card for the Less is More challenge. This was one of those inspired 'what can I do with this?' kind of cards, as most of the elements are left over from a card I made today which I will post at the weekend.

Less is More would like a CAS card with the theme being 'Off Centre'.

So here's my take:


The die cut circle is a Nelle Snellen die using paper from wild Rose Studio. I then stamped the butterfly using Wedding Butterfllies stamp set also from Wild Rose Studio in Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. I then dotted some White Opal Liquid Pearls on the wings of the butterfly.



Then mounted onto a kraft card base layered up with some pink satin and daisy lace ribbon.
Added some gems as the antenna and finally stamped the greeting from Waltzingmouse Stamps in Memento Rich cocoa.

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline xx
