not square


I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do for Less is More and I may have eliminated myself.
First off I knew I wanted to use this Cheery Lynn Hawaii oval which was a headache to start with cos it has a fancy circle inside and I wanted it plain white. So I had to cut the oval for the centre and there is a tiddly edge to fancy oval to stick it onto.
Then I cut a scallop circle on my cricut and they came out too big. I cut out one before that wasn't that big but can't think for the life of me what cartridge I used before.
So I noticed the doily Cheery Lynn die and decided to use that folded in half but it was too weak to take the oval, which is why there's a plain white folded circle underneath.
The Tulips are Memory Box but I cut two so that I could layer the tulip heads and of cause I raised the leaf too. A Stampin Up sentiment and I'm really please how it turned out but could it be too busy for Less is More. I'll let the judges decide.

Hi Debby, It's really beautiful, such an elegant card, I love the lacy design. Isn't it frustrating when you have an idea in mind but it won't just come together. I've sometimes spent ages cutting things out to not use any of it and scrap it, wasting a whole morning. What we like lol.
Hugs Sue W.

I don't know about the LIM judges but I think it's beautiful. The oval is so delicate and is not overpowered by the slim tulips. It's gorgeous.

Kathleen said...

Well, I normally jump straight to comment form but didn't just to see what the judges have decided but found no answer as yet but I think you have no worries, there is plenty of white space and the card is that fabulous they wouldn't/couldn't fault it.
You made me smile when you said that you were 'pleased' with it. I would have been over the moon with it.
