Predominately Purple


Happy New Year  and the first challenge of the year for Less is More ... yay!
 Didn't realise how much this challenge has become a way of life until last Saturday morning... good job I managed to fill the day preparing for our guests coming for Hogmanay !
But back to the challenge..
Decided that I wanted to use BIG flowers but I had nothing suitable, so drew them instead, (using odd scraps of card, then coloured them in with promarkers highlighted in black ink) added some clear stickles to the centres just so that they glitter a little bit when the light hits them and then stamped with my all time favourite sentiment so versatile and that is it!
P.s I also managed to download and use Picasa over the hols so hopefully my pictures will be clearer!

    Hi Jenni Nice card, the flowers are great, really makes the card dimensional.

    Thanks for the nice comments on my blog :) the flower was hand drawn and not a stamp, so that was a nice compliment to receive :)
