CR84FN 30, Less is More, The Secret Crafter

Hi all, today i have a card for a couple of my favourite weekend challenges - Less is More, and CR84FN.

This week Less is More want us to pick a square from the grid below, leaving the rest as white space, and Cr84Fn want the colours pale blue, yellow and kraft.

So here are the inspiration pics:



And here's my take:



I have made a masculine style thank you card, using the lovely colours from CR84FN this week.

I have used a white linen card base, and cut a smaller square in the same card and stamped a tartan pattern using two different Martha Stewart check backgrounds in Distress Ink Tumbled Glass and Memento Cantaloupe.


I then overstamped the sentiment in Frayed Burlap Distress Ink, added 3 blue gems and wrapped some jute twine around the panel and a couple of buttons to the bow.

I love how this turned out. I must admit that Clean and Simple doesn't come easily to me, and I do find that I just want to add more stuff to a card! However, less is More is gradually beating it into me that Less is really More, well, sometimes!

I am entering this into;
