Less is More and WOYWW

 So last night Hubby was working with BIL and DD was watching a dvd which would only work on her dvd player so I went in my room for a play. This is my WOYWW when I finished, not too bad although I had already tidy up once.
I've admire all the CAS cards and love the Less is More challenges but its something I find really hard to do. For instance this week is a touch of red and I had managed to get my hands on this flower stamp from Hero Arts that I've admired for many months on Kaths blog.  Since I wasn't convince this would work I used a scrap of pattern paper which now I wish I had a bit more cos I could of layered the flower a bit more and the black beads would then be inside a petal.
Stil I'm really pleased how it turned out, I hadn't forgotten how to make my flat bows, last time I made them was at Christmas. Don't stamp sentiment stamps when you've just refilled the inkpad so I apologise for the sloppy stamping but what a brilliant sentiment from Stampin up.
The hardest thing was not to put anything in the top left hand corner so much so I had to hide the card!!!!!

My friend has recently become a Stampin  Up Demostrater and she keeps showing stuff thats not on my wish list which included the green inkpad and the stamps I used for the next card. I used the Less is More sketch from last week and the border punch is EK success. I cut a strip slighty thinner than 1 1/2 inch which left room in the middle for the ribbon. Its easy to make a strip like this, remember where you start from and when you've punched one side, flip it over to the other side and start from place your started on the other side.
There was no way I was leaving the top blank which is way I put the pearls there, originally I thought they were to small but less is more!

 

Sorry for going on a bit and turning this into one very long post.
