PDCC # 91, WMSC #57, Less is More

Hi all, today I have a card for a few of my favourite challenges. The Play Date Cafe, Waltzingmouse sketch Challenge, Less is More, and Crafty Catz.

This week it's a colour splash over at The Play Date Cafe, Less is More want us to use buttons or ribbon, there's a cool sketch at WMSC, and Crafty Catz have asked for no pink or blue to be used.

Here's the inspiration:



And here's my take:



I have use the two smaller circular 'tree-tops' from WMS Teeny trees, and stamped the larger one in tuxedo Black and the smaller one in Dew Drop Purple Hydrangea. Then fussy cut the smaller purple ones and layered them up onto the larger black ones.



Then added some buttons in black, white and purple colours with some black twine threaded through the middle.


Then underneath scored some lines and laid some Liquorice bakers twine from The Ribbon Reel across, and tied a little bow.

Finally stamped the sentiment from WMS Asian Gardens Additions.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Pauline xx
