Less is More #299

Hi there LIMettes, are you ready for this week's challenge?
I hope so! It's recipe week at Less is More and we'd like you to
Use Acetate or Vellum

This one uses Pure Florals: Poinsettia and Simply Said Christmas by Uniko;
the sentiment and poinsettia are both heat embossed using WOW rich pale gold
and the inlaid frame die is by Paper Smooches.

I'd like to enter this for a couple of challenges too

 Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge - Emboss on Vellum
Happy Little Stampers Christmas challenge - Embossing
   
            
and another entry for the Flower Challenge - Anything Goes with flowers





Here I've used some snowflake patterned acetate which is adhered
between the card stock at the top and bottom of the card.
The tree landscape die is from Clearly Besotted with the sentiment from
Happy Little Stampers - Christmas sentiments set. I've added a touch
of Tumbled Glass distress ink behind the acetate as the sky.

It's Anything Goes over at Addicted to Stamps and More
so I'd like to head over there with this card.
... and my last one has gone all pink!
The reason is ... I'd like to link it up at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
Think Pink

I discovered the hearts border die in my stash which is how this card started
plus my Mum asked me for an Anniversary card! That's all it takes eh!
Then thinking pink I've torn strips of mottled pink and white vellum, overlapped
it and adhered it to a piece of card stock. Added some pink sequins and a few
embossed chevrons from Happy Little Stampers Mix Mash in Ranger Silver Platinum to
 tone in with the sentiment from Avery Elle which is heat embossed in the same.

  1. Ooh what a feast for my eyes! I very nearly used that poinsettia but you beat me to it and there's no way I could have bettered that fab card! Love your acetate card, such a great way to create this lovely winter scene. But wow, your last card is amazing, so creative. And I have stash envy with that gorgeous vellum. You've really blown me away this week, LOVE!!!!

  11. Brilliant, Sarah! Are you purchasing these gorgeous colored vellum, or creating them on your own? The red is gorgeous ... but I'm happy to see you thinking pink, or I'd never have seen this beautifully mottled one!
