After last weeks White on White challenge and spending every evening making mainly white wedding invitations, I had a desperate need to add some colour. I have made a second card for Less is More today and I`m pretty sure it won`t be the last.
Very plain with just the image ( Papertrey Fancy Flourishes) stamped in Bahama blue and heat embossed with clear EP.
The sentiment is by Flourishes stamps also in Bahama Blue.
I`ve added a few pearls to finish off.
But then I decided to add a ribbon and bow. Took me about an hour to get the bow right then changed my mind. Didn`t like the bow one bit.
So back to the drawing board or, to be precise, the scoring board and I scored 3 lines along the top giving me both a heat and a dry embossed card.
Not quite sure which I prefer now...
I have at least one more card in the pipeline so stay tuned.
Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx

Love the colour you chose. I prefer the second one as I think the image is too low on the second one giving a large gap (just been picky really!).

Ooh love them! Gorgeous colour, beautiful flourish and pearls :o) Think I prefer the plain one, but only just! Lisa x
ReplyDeleteLynne - both are beautiful. But for me the plain card with no score lines is perfect - elegant and beautiful!

Hi Lynne, the first one gets my vote - absolutely stunning! Whenever I see your LIM cards I always ask myself why I didn't think of something like that! xx
ReplyDeleteIf I were to choose, it would be the first card.. simple elegance. I much prefer the unbroken card surface, nothing to take the eye away from that beautiful flourish!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much once more.

the first card is just stunning xxx
ReplyDeletePersonally I prefer the first. The plain area at the top draws the eye downwards to the gorgeous flourish, which is so elegant. Whenever I see Bahama Blue ink it reminds me I need to use it more as it's such a gorgeous colour.
ReplyDeleteWell done Lynne, a stunning card :-)
Think I prefer the first - they are gorgeous! Love them

What a gorgeous colour, really elegant cards. (prefer it without the lines). xx
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful! My favorite colour, plus a great idea to add the embossed lines, I wish I'd added that little touch to mine!
ReplyDeleteKelly x
Definately the plain one for me - I think the straight lines fight against the soft curves of the swirls....
ReplyDeleteA simple, elegant and extremely classy card
ReplyDeleteBeryl x
Both brilliant cards but the first is the best for me Luv Sue x
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely Lynne - we all need a bit of colour in our lives! It's the first one for me too! Vx
ReplyDeleteOh My! Lynne, this is awesome! I might just have to CASE this card! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh wow!
ReplyDeleteThis card is fabulous, also another one here for the plain front... I love the simple elegance of it :)
How beautiful! That flourish is just lovely, and the color you chose is wonderful. Both gorgeous cards, but I like the first one best.
ReplyDeleteThe first card wins my vote. Clean and crisp and such a lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteHugs

ReplyDeleteJacki xx
Such elegant cards, I couldn't decide between the two. Sarah
ReplyDeleteGlad it's not just me that's indecisive. I think with the embossed lines, although both are gorgeous. Sue.x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, fabulous flourish and love that colour on white. My favourite is the first.
