Snowflake card

Hi everyone, I have another 'Less is More' card to
 show you again today. The theme this week is....
 
 
'Sparkle'
 
 
This is what I came up with, very sparkly irl I can
assure you. Hard to get a good photo though as it's
mostly very grey here today. 
 
 
The sentiment is a 
stamp by Penny Black, embossed and glittered
with Wow white pearl and snowflake ep. Looks
a tad dull  here but quite sparkly irl again !
 
 
 
 
 
 
ps. Sorry I was so late commenting this week btw.
 
 
Quick update on our DIL, more problems I am afraid
so the baby is being delivered early via cesarean on the
 13th.
 
 I hope to have baby news very soon, please keep
baby and mother in your thoughts. If I go missing shortly
 it is because I am going to help look after mum and baby
 too.

Love you card

Hi friends, here is another 'Less is More' card.
The theme this week is .....

'Use Designer paper in a CAS way.'
 
This is what I came up with, Pink Petticoat
'Waterfall hearts' dp cut using a Cuttlebug
die.
 
 
You can just see one of the hearts on the 'you'
 part ....I liked that.
 
 
 I used some blue and green  TH distress
 inks and inked a panel. I then used a Memory Box
die to cut the flower stem.
A touch of glamour dust and it was completed.
 
 
 
 
 
 
ps. It hasn't been a great week, ( see previous posts) and
I almost didn't make a  'LIM' card this time.
 
 
 But I think in the end it helped take my mind off things.
Thankyou so much for all the kind emails and messages. 
Hope you all  have a good week ahead.

Flowers thankyou card

Good afternoon everyone, I have another 'Less is More'
card to show you today.
 
The theme is a .......................................
 
 
 
 'One layer card'  and  'Thankyou '
 
 
 
 
 
I used TH distress ink,sponged using 'Broken China'
 for a  narrow panel and then used a  Lavinia flower 
stamp.
 
 
 
 I stamped in Momento 'London fog' twice then
 overstamped using Momento 'Tuxedo black' ink.
 
 
 
The sentiment was stamped in the same black ink 
using a Penny Black stamp.
 
 
 
 
I continue to be so impressed by all the lovely
cards made by my talented blogging friends .
 
 
 
 You are just awesome !!!, I really love visiting you all
 and seeing  what you all make. Just wish I didn't want
 to buy everything I see you use lol.
 
 
 
Do any of you have trouble thinking up new titles for your
 cards ?? I find I am running out of new ideas now.
 
 
 
 
ps. Our DIL continues to have various problems poor girl :(
.............thankyou for asking how she is.

Good morning, I trust this finds you well today. As it's
Saturday I have another 'Less is More' card to show
you once more. The theme this time is..........

Hmm blogger is playing up with me today so
