So I had in my mind a
Less is More Coloured Card challenge and I decided to hunt out some pearlescent paints that have been hiding in a box where they're now been put back for another decade. Much prefer my prism or polychromo so I shall stick with them in future.
But basically stamped and embossed with white painted them in, drew around the card and bit of ribbon to finished then hated the the centres so added some micro beads which I also hate.
Now the next few cards were another idea using my favourite Hero Arts stamp which was to emboss in white and silver. It doesn't look half bad until you photo it and it looks odd.
I stamped and embossed the sentiment because it doesn't show up well in the white embossed flourish.
This is one that worked the best but I stamped it on a smaller bit of card so it had to be backed with silver.
Looking forward to the next challenge.

Great cards Debby, but I did laugh here at your indignant squeaks of 'I hate' whilst making the first card.....which I love BTW!
Hugs, Di xx

This post really made me smile Debby because the card you hate I love! I think we all get a bit trapped in our comfort zone and our cards can get a bit samey sometimes. Doing something really different really introduces new ideas again. Keep on challenging! Jane x
Stunning cards, I love them all but the first one just a little bit more!

All very pretty but really like that flourish.
I am happy to report that I have this stamp at last - and it does stamp beautifully doesn't it. Love the different effects you've got with all the different colour cards.

Hi Debbie...that is one of the most beautiful flourish stamps I have seen! And I really like the mix of white and silver embossing...I've never thought to do that so I might give it a go! Great cards!

It does us good to try things Debby and you are never afraid of doing that I really admire you! That flourish stamp is stunning and love the cards you made with it! Susan x
Well Debby I think all are just wonderful. I thought the first one was made out of material, on my screen the flowers look as if they have been cut out with lace and the purple background looks like felt, how odd is that, but it's gorgeous, kate x
Wow Debby, They are all so beautiful x
I absolutely love your first card Debby! It is gorgeous. Funny how we all start to doubt ourselves sometimes. Although I like all of your other cards the final version really stands out because of the mirror card. All in all not a bad days work at all Debby!
Best wishes

I think all your cards are beautiful and anyone would be over the moon to receive them :)
I love your first card and the microbead centers! I have the stamp you used for the next cards and I can never get a good impression from it but your cards are perfect! Very pretty colors too!
Oh wow, they are all gorgeous Debby! Love the silver embossing especially!
