The cards that didn't make it into the LIM challenge.

I have always known card making is addictive, I often set out to make one card but end up making a couple... an extra one is not bad, quite good really.  Last weekend I decided to make a card to enter the LIM challenge and what do you know,  one card turned to two, two cards turned in to three I think you know how the pattern goes... so now I have 6 lovely purple cards!

Three I entered into the challenge and here are the three that didn't make it.  All are variants of circles and the flourish and flower stamp.

Third card for the LIM challenge

The next card is a floral flourish stamp which I have again stamped in violet ink.  I have placed a large circle in the middle and stamped with white ink for a contrast.  To add a little bit of something, I have played with some ribbon.

I just had to!

I simply couldn't resist, I have entered other cards in the Less is More challenge for this week, purely as they are a bit different and I really like the outcome.

The first is a hand sketched large purple flower.  To put a bit of a boarder / detail on the card I used some sparkly purple and silver cotton that I have had for years.







First card challenge entry!

The time has come to enter my first card challenge.. hooray!  Deciding which blog challenge to enter was not difficult for me, the Less is More blog is where I wanted to be.  I have been visiting the Less is More blog for a long time and find my self popping in many times a day to look at all the wonderful entries.  To be honest the ladies weekly challenge is one of the main reasons I have created my blog.

This weeks challenge is 'Predominantly Purple' which is a colour I like, but one that not very often makes it into my cards.

The hard part was deciding which of the cards I have made this weekend to enter! I have decided on the large purple flourish.

 The flourish has been stamped in violet and I have then placed a purple ring in the center, which has been stamped in white ink for contrast. Six little gems have been added for a touch of sparkle.
I really must find a better way to take pictures of the cards, to bring out the colour and detail more!
