Less is More.. Again!

Hi all, I have a couple more cards to enter for Less is More, the challenge ends today, and I love this theme of birds. This is my second posting, but I've created 5 cards for this challenge now, a record for me!

My first card was made using stamps from Papermania. I dry embossed a circular nestability, and stamped the birdcage in Versafine Smokey Grey. Then added two little blue birds in Memento Summer sky.



I went around the inner embossed edge with a quickie glue pen and a little drizzle of Glamour Dust for a bit of sparkle. The sentiment is from the same stamp set, in Versafine Vintage Sepia.




The next card I made looked entirely different to how I thought it would be!
I stamped the feathery background on Smokey Gray, and added some humming- birds in Versacolour Celadon blue.



The sentiment is from Penny Black and is stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia. Finally added two teal blue crystals to the bottom of the sentiment.

There are some cracking entries over at Less is More this week, I now realise I need some Chickens in my life!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

They are both beautiful. You have such a wide range of styles--so much talent. I really like these CAS cards. I forgot to play this one--too bad because I have SU Aviary, which I love and hardly ever pull out any more.

Very stylish and elegant cards! I looked around on your blog and you make beautiful cards! I like it to be your follower! Sorry if my English is not so good. I do my best but here in Belgium I don't need the English language very much.

Both cards are beautiful Pauline. Lovely delicate colours that don't blend into the background - something I struggle with! I use too much or not enough colour at times! hugs Karen x
