Less is More #270

Morning friends can you believe it's Saturday AGAIN?
Hey where did that week go? Phew think I must have blinked too hard!

Anyway I'm here with the latest challenge for Less is More and it's our 
Colour week. We are looking for 'White' Space as always but NOT White.

Hope that makes sense but here's my cards and there's plenty more 
fantastic inspiration from my fellow teamies over on the main blog 
PLUS we've another guest designer sharing the stage with us this week.

Liz of Crafty Sunflower and I'm sure you'll have visited her blog before 
but if not please head across to view her fantastic cards and leave some love!


First up using lilac as my 'white space' with the Doodled Flowers set from 
Happy Little Stampers; heat embossed with white EP then coloured 
with my Derwent Coloursoft pencils. The sentiment is from the same set and 
I've used an MFT Die-Namics basic stitched die to create some interest to the 
sentiment panel. To finish some glossy accents and wink of stella to the bloom centres.

I'd like to link this one up at Happy Little Stampers - Anything Goes when
using their stamps - obviously! Plus it's Anything Goes at Simon Says Stamp
Wednesday Challenge so I'm skipping over there too with this one.

Next up using Orange as my 'white' space and the Cute as a Bug from Clearly Besotted 
with a sentiment from the Say it in Style set. The images are coloured with my Zig 
Clear Brush pens and I've added some glossies and wink of stella for added interest 
plus some coordinating enamel sprinkles from Doodlebug.

I hope you feel inspired to play along with us and I can't wait to see
how you take this one. Thanks as always for stopping by and hope 
you have some fun and crafty playtime this weekend.

  4. Two super cards, Sarah. I love how you've added the stitched curve to the top one and the flowers are really lovely. I don't use orange on my cards very often, but the way you've teamed it with the black on the second card is so striking. Love the image too. xx

  8. I love how you always come up with an interesting shape to your cards - my brain only seems to think in circles and rectangles! :p Your cards are both gorgeous. The lilac card is stunning with the background colour and striking flower shapes, and the snail is adorable (plus I need some enamel sprinkles in my life!)
    By the way, the link here from LIM is broken and returns an error message.
