LIM 14

The challenge this week for Less is More was a tricky one; white on white. I had lots of ideas for this, but when I made the first one, I decided there was too much embossing for it to be CAS.

I'm still pondering about where to take this one to finish it off. I will probably try a sentiment on the lower third, maybe with a scroll mount?
















Mandi and Chrissie were absolutely right, taking the photo was not easy and the one of my final entry isn't great, but it was the best of a bad bunch.

I used a square linen effect card and cut out the heart aperture with a Nellie Snellen multiframe.

Behind the aperture is a soft vellum paper with a small  flower print. 

I made some paper flowers and added them on top of some foliage cut with a Marianne die.

I did wonder about adding an acetate butterfly but decided to leave it alone at this stage.

Wonder what thay will come up with for us next week?

See you again,

    I adore your second card, those sweet little flowers and vine look great overlapping onto the heart aperture :)

    What beautiful cards, I love both of them, despite having lots of embossing, the overall effect is still clean and simple.
    Thanks so much for joining us!
