Simply Less is More # 156

Woohoo, here I am with my entry for this weeks Simply Less is More and it`s still Saturday.

Hello folks, I hope you are all well and in good crafting mode. It`s a sketch this week over at Simply Less is More,

I decided to use the same stamp set that Tara asked me to use to showcase her Flourishes week at Make the day Special. 
The store is now open and I took the opportunity to order the die that goes with this Bookplate Stamp.

I made a panel slightly smaller than my base card and embossed it with a cuttlebug Candy Cane EF leaving a plain strip for the sentiment.
I stamped the image ( Flourishes Bookplate Vol 2) in clear ink and embossed using Detail Gold EP, then coloured the flowers with Promarkers.
The sentiment is from the same set also embossed in gold. I`ve added a small lilac ribbon to finish.

I have more ideas so may be back ( but don`t hold your breath lol)

Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx

Good Morning All!                                                                                     

I have some fab news to share today. My lovely blog friend Tara has taken over the online stamp store
Make The Day Special. Not only that, she has kindly asked me to be a guest designer for the Make the day special blog.
Unfortunately the site is not quite up and running just yet but is just a whisker away from going live. The store specialises in bringing U.S. stamps to the U.K without all the fuss of paying extra in cutoms and excise duty. Please check out the store to see the wonderful brands Tara has for you.
One of the brands that was in the store was Flourishes and regular readers of  my blog will know how much I love Flourishs stamps. Unfortunately, Flourishes have ended their wholesale program so Tara will no longer be able to stock them but she still has some for sale in the store. To promote the sale of Flourishes stamps the blog is runnng a week of designs using these stamps. Here is my GDT card;

Not sure if it`s possible to make a fussy CaS card but I think I`ve come close lol. I`ve used the beautiful Panseys from Flourishes Bookplates Vol 2.
I`ve coloured the flowers with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens and cut out with a nestie square.
I used the Spellbinders Lace Doily Motifs die set and cut my card base to fit before placing my image with foam pads. I`ve finished off with some lilac flat back pearls.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Please keep checking the site for opening time, you will not be disappointed.
