Copper Dust - Daisy

I love the colour of copper, there is just something about it.  A few years ago I bought some beautiful copper card, it is a nice and heavy card stock and beautifully metallic.  In hindsight I should have bought a LOT more of it but luckily I still have a bit left.

Tonight have have made a couple of cards using some copper dust.  The cards I am going to enter into the Less Is More sketch challenge which is due to close in a couple of hours.

As each entry has to have it's own post I will split the two cards.

Here is the first copper dust card - Single Daisy

The photograph unfortunately doesn't really capture the beautiful shimmer of the copper dust and metallic card.

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.
