LIM 69 - shaped card


It's hard getting a good pic of this because of the metallic card I've used for the watering can. This week's Less Is More challenge is to use anything but a square or rectangular card. I found this template on the Waltzing Mouse Stamps site and was initially going to cover the top with flowers for my mother-in-law but that would not have been very CAS at all so I've gone for a simpler approach. It's a TH flower and a Cuttlebug leaf die which I've edged with Impress chartreuse and victorian velvet DI. I used a Cuttlebug embossing border along the bottom and added a Paula Pascual stamped oval and text. Thanks for all your comments, it was hard to get around to many of you last week but I will do my best this week.

  19. Really love the shape that you've used - plus you've resisted the temptation to fill it with flowers - that's what I find so hard......,. Well done!
