Less Is More Challenge Number 9

I was so disappointed by the entry i posted earlier  that i had to do the card again, this time it really is CAS…

LIM wk 9 Baby 01

LIM wk 9 Baby 02

LIM wk 9 Baby 03

I was so pleased by all the great feedback, your comments are really helping me to learn so thank you and keep ‘em coming:-)  Perhaps this version is too plain… The card size is a small 4 x 4 inches

Materials Used

Paper Mill cardstock 300gsm

Elusive Images baby stamps from 2008

Sentiment by Around –It-All stamps

Momento London Fog  pad and Versafine for the sentiment

Promarker Pen-Blush

Red and Gold Glitter pens from the £ shop

 

Another card which i made while pondering how to change the baby card… This time i stamped directly onto card as i thought these stamps would look better presented this way.

LIM wk 9 flowers 01

Materials Used

QVC Cardstock 250gsm

Stamp Addicts Flowers and Borders SA-5004

Sentiment from Around-It-All

Versafine ink pad

Red Glitter pen from £ shop

Hoping i’ve done better this time around. Please keep that feedback coming and thanks fro dropping by, again:-)

    Your card is cute. There was no mention of a size this time, and you definitely left enough white space. You've got the red down. I like it...just my humble opinion mind you. I'm learning too. Isn't this a great challenge blog?
    Cyber hugs to you.

    Adorable. This is such a cute stamp and the touch of red gives it an edge.

    Well I much prefer these two... much better CAS style and no, I don't think there's too much white space!
    Well done you!
    Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

    It's hard to embrace the concept of so much white space but this shows you've cracked it!

    This is sooo sweet, you really have done the image justice, I do like this one better than the first, but it's great you posted both and shared your mishaps (I often forget to use right ink!!). I also absolutely love the flower card, you were so right to stamp directly on the card it works so well.
    Diane x
    P.S will hold you to promise about W.live writer, I will try again next week (annoyingly tied up all this weekend..oops that sounds bad...not in the kinky way!!!!)so wont get to look at it properly till then, so if I get stuck I know who to call...big thank you!

    Absolutely adore the baby card - it has real wow factor! Love the flower card too. (I might have stamped a half flower at each end of the row - just a thought!)
