Less is More

Morning all, I have a card this morning for Less is More Challenge. This week, Chrissie and Mandi want us to...
'Take 3 Challenges
We want you to choose 3 from any of our previous 29 and combine them in your design.
There is a list of our previous challenges under the tab heading at the top of our blog and you can also see the previous sketches under a separate tab.
Please state which 3 you have chosen.
NB There is no need to adhere to the One Layer if that is on the week you choose.
You may wish to go for your favourites or maybe your least...acetate springs to mind!
Most of all, be creative, have fun, remember our white space and the all important
"Less is More"'


I have chosen to make a One Layer card (Wk 28) and the themes from Weeks 23 and 16 - Butterflies and things with legs.


I have used two corner stamps from a set from Stamp-It, and Distress Ink Victorian Velvet.



The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Asian Gardens, stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia.



Finally added some pink stickles for a bit of shimmer, but think I will add some gems in the future!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
