Less is More wk 53

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday Simply Less is More
Happy birthday to you

Just incase you haven`t guessed by now it is Less is More 1st birthday. A year ago Chrissie and Mandi started the ball rolling with a colour challenge and here we are with another colour challenge, this time we have,
                                                              Aqua


Although I love the colour Aqua,it isn`t one that I`d choose as a stand alone colour. It`s a bit wishy washy for me. I like bright, in your face colours on their own. I also don`t own any aqua card, in fact the only thing I have that is aqua is ribbon. I really need to do some serious craft shopping lol.
So, onto my cards. The first one I`ve used a Heidi Swapp stamp called Swirl stamped in Mint green Versacolor.
The sentiment is by Layers of Color Happy Wishes set, stamped in Versafine Black. I`ve added a ribbon and bow and a clear heart gem ( to cover a smudge).
For my second card I`ve used Papertrey fancy Flourishes stamped in Mint.
I made a flower using Pink Petticoat Daisy DP and a brad.
I`ve added some clear gems to the flourishes to give them a bit of va va voom `cos I think it looks a bit washed out. The sentiment is by Flourishes Tag Lines.

Well the snow started at tea time last night and just kept coming. I woke this morning to 4" of the horrible white stuff. Looked really pretty first thing but now I just want it gone. I`m sure I should have been born in warmer climes lol. I hope you are all coping with the weather and keeping warm.

Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx

    Gorgeous cards - the DP makes a really pretty and delicate flower.
    We got about the same amount of snow as you but its melting slowly now thankfully so at least the roads will be clear for the commute to work tomorrow.

    Lynne I think your card are just gorgeous! The flourish, flower and gems on your second are so pretty, but I love the first one!

    I do hope the snow doesn't last too long! We seem to have got away with it here in North Wales - no snow and warm - 6°C today!

    Beautiful cards. I think the smudge as a happy mistake because the heart is a a very sweet touch.

    Funny that you're not into aqua Lynne - both your cards are fabulous! I agree with you about the snow - lovely through the window of a centrally heated house but not if you have to go out in it! Vicky x
