Less is More Challenge #309

Good morning, welcome back and a Happy New Year  (almost) to my wonderful followers and crafty buddies!
I hope you've enjoyed some fun and festive delights and maybe a few crafty gifts  have been received too! Looking forward to seeing those in the coming weeks eh! 
So this morning, it's time to announce the last challenge of 2016 over at
Less is More
It's RECIPE week ... and we've chosen DIMENSION what's more we are thrilled to be joined by Sandie of London Days our winner from November, who will be guest designing this week. I hope you'll stop by her blog and leave some love and cheer!
Here's what I've got for you today and it's a bit of a Two-fer as I've used the same products and colours for the first two.

To make these first two I started with the Hexastar stencil from Neat & Tangled.

Inked with Veramark before embossing with WOW gold metallic sparkle EP.

For the one above I've die-cut some of the hexagons with an MFT stitched hexagon

stax and arranged them at various heights with and without foam tape. 

The sentiments are by Uniko: Classic Numbers and All Occasion Sentiments #1

The dashed lines are by Happy Little Stampers: Mixed Media Fun (newly released)

To finish a few sparkly sequins from my stash.

It's Anything Goes over at Simon Says Stamp: Wednesday Challenge

so I'd like to head over there with this one

Next up this one uses a die-cut rectangle of the stencilled / embossed panel, 

popped up on 3d foam for dimension. The butterflies are by Uniko: English Country

Garden set with a sentiment from Simply Said I, both heat embossed in the same

WOW Gold metallic sparkle embossing powder. I also added glue dots to the centre

of the butterflies to allow the wings to sit away from the card for more dimension.

Last but not least ... more butterflies, this time Butterfly duo dies by

Clearly Besotted, inlaid with foiled cardstock and again popped up 

on glue dots to give the wings more dimension. The sentiment is by 

Happy Little Stampers: Fun Birthday sentiments; all mounted on a pierced

rectangle die-cut from an MFT stax and a few sequins plus a strip of 

sparkly washi tape for a little bit of bling!

Ok that's all from me for today but I do hope you'll stop by the 

Less is More blog where there's links to all the fantastic designs by

my fellow teamies plus Sandie, our Guest Designer. 

So all that's left for me to say (maybe a little early in the day, here in the UK)

Wishing you all the very best for a happy and prosperous 

New Year! Cheers ... let's CELEBRATE!

Have a fantastic day, evening, whatever you do and a perfect 2017!

Thanks for visiting and catch up soon!
