Less is More #296

Morning friends I'm here with my Less is More post today as we start a 
new month, new challenge and new sponsor or should I say returning sponsor! 
The super generous Dies To Die For are back to sponsor our challenges
this month so be sure to enter each week to be in with a shout of a prize!
I'm relying on Mr Blogger again today as I'm heading down to the Happy Stampers 
Festival at Port Sunlight so if you're lucky enough to be attending then please 
pop along to the Uniko stand as I'll be helping Bev there!
So before I forget it's Colour Week and we've chosen
Lilac and Turquoise as our colour combo for this week!
It's also RELEASE day at Uniko so I've another post (all being well)
going live in an hour featuring the new sets! Hope you'll pop back then!
BUT ... for your eyes only I've got an early sneaky peep at the small
Christmas Sparkle set

I've stamped the images using Colorbox pigment inks then embossed with Hero Arts 
Sparkle Clear EP. The sentiment is embossed in silver to tone with the glittery strip  
down the left hand side and a couple of matching sprinkles by Doodlebug to finish.


Recipe:
Stamps: Altenew Beautiful Day 
I have wanted this set for ages, well since it was released and kept
putting it off and putting it off until so many super talented crafters
kept showing off with it that I could resist it no longer. 
All the stamped images including the sentiment are from the set 
and I've used Altenew Inks to stamp the florals too.

I'd like to pop this one in at the Simon Says Stamp - 
Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes

Don't forget to head over to the Less is More blog HERE
where my fellow teamies have worked their little socks off 
again and created some awesome cards!

  1. Hope you enjoyed your day at Port Sunlight....and that it didn't break the bank! Loving those sparkle baubles Sarah because they look so pretty and your glittery strip was an inspired addition. But WOW! What tremendous blooms on your second card. They look stunning with the uncoloured leaves framing them. Have a fabulous week.

  2. Oh my goodness, these are FABULOUS! Those ornaments looks amazing, so elegant and pretty. I love the strip of glittered paper which is such an eye catching touch. Your Beautiful Day card is stunning with the coloured blooms set against the crisp black inked leaves. Just perfect! Hope you have a super day at HFS! x

  7. Two beautiful cards Sarah - I especially like the flowers from A Beautiful Day - and I can understand your giving in to buy it - it is really special! Love how you feature the two coloured flowers by leaving the background foliage uncoloured. A great technique!

  10. These 2 cards are both great inspiration for the challenge! I'm in love with your Altenew card as I love everything "floral", but they're both equally gorgeous!

  11. I can feel the stamp envy happening in reverse now. Now I'm envious of your Beautiful Day set and I can't get hold of it! I lOVE this design with the leaves left uncoloured, it's stunning. And your silver touches look great with these colours on your first card too. Off to add the 'back in stock' notification to this one too now! xx
