Never mind I thought I would have a go with distress inks instead, so I stamped a couple pieces of card and embossed with white powder than got down to blending Mulled ! and Dusty Concord. Made a lovely job with just the right amount of distressing then stamped a verse in the middle looked b****y awful and it went in the bin.
I also distess a couple of bits of card to stamp using black ink this wasn't the time for the inkpad not being juicy enough and it was only when I stamped did I find out so they went in the bin.
So that left this one but there are issues first off, there is a mark in the middle which a butterfly is conveniently hiding but one odd butterfly looks out of place consequently there are now three butterflies using a very old punch.
Then there is the smudged sentiment because I'm stamping on linen card you need to be extra firm guess I was bit too firm. But here it is in all its glory and I shall be wearing purple for the next few days.

Wow! These are gorgeous! I especially love the latter one, so beautiful and delicate.
Beautiful cards, Debby. I love the balloons but those flowers on the second card are amazing! Love 'n' hugs, Mel xx
Considering the problems you had making these cards, they are both stunners! I love the balloons and may have to borrow that idea with my Clarity balloon stamps and your 2nd card is gorgeous, love the colour and those butterflies just finish it off nicely :)
Wunderschön sind Deine Karten. Besonders die zweite gefällt mir sehr.
Liebe Grüße

Two beautiful cards Debby,I especially like the second one...Had a similar thing yesterday just finished colouring an image,went to move an ink pad the lid came of and it fell straight on to the image,I was not a happy bunny,so sulked and didn't do any crafting for the rest of the day..lol...

Oooh Wow Debby..... who would have ever known you'd had problems!! Those cards are both FAB-U-LOUS but I particularly love the second one! I would love to know what stamp you've used and how you've achieved that look? Could you email me??

Sounds easier to do what I call 'normal' cards...than 'More is Less' or is that Less is More lol.
Well Debby I hope you look as good in purple as your cards do!
They are both fabulous!
I love everything about them both.
The first is SO perfect. I love the image and your layout is stunning!
Love the score lines as well as the images on the second. The stray butterflies have created a unique card. I really think the bits that we add to cover our "mishaps" often are the things that make handmade card special.
Great cards!
Was looking at the hearts stamp just yesterday, will I or won't I! Makes a lovely card but oh I do love the second one, simply stunning for me Debby. Carolxx
Love your cards Debby and what fabulous colours!
