Less is More

Evening all, I have a card to share tonight for the new Less is More Challenge, which this week would like us to Bling it On! Well, how could I resist?

I have had a new snowflake die cut for a few weeks now and it's been calling my name, so finally I got round to using it today!

I had in mind something completely different for this card, but the best laid plans etc etc, it's kind of followed it's own flow.

I haven't tried the dry embossing technique with a die before, and I really wanted to try this with this pretty die. After a few attempts, I finally ended up with this;



I never normally make one layer cards - I am a naturally fussy and fancy kind of girl, but somehow when I think of CAS, I think one layer. But when Chrissie and Mandi asked us to bring the Bling, well, I was in seventh heaven! So, lotsa bling, but keep it simple - it just said 'One layer, dry embossing!' to me.

I have used loads of bling, but I'm hoping that the fact it's a one layer card, and predominantly full of the beloved white space, and may I add, minimal stamping, it will pass muster.

I am entering this into the following challenges:
