Less is More............A Colour Challenge !!!

Two cards for  Less is More this week

This one is a sort of 'Variation on a Theme' - this one I have used snowflakes rather thank baubles!! I added Simon Says Cardstock Sea Glalss for the base and the   Simon Says Stamp KateSnowflake & Faceted Snowflake and Impression Obsession Snowflakes. The gems are Hero Arts Blue Gemstines and the sentiment is one from a hAnglAr set.

Simon Says.....................Mother's Day/Special Girl!!!

MOTHER'S DAY/SPECIAL GIRL

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

 Art Impressions Flower Shop

                                

***  This  Art Impressions Try-fold should have been used at an earlier challenge but sadly didn't arrive in time so I was looking forward to try it out and thought it suitable for a Mother's Day card. 

This one is Our of Stock at the moment but is on order and should be in before too long.

I used Copics for this image bu tried to use them with a water coloured effect - it would have been easier to actually use water colours but I'm not prone to take the easy route, probable  because I like experimenting, often with disassters!!! I enjoy making this card and love how it came together - now I shall be looking for another Ai Try fold card. 

                                   

This is the inside of the card where I have added the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Stamp & Die Set

I used Bazzill Gumball for my base and used the Impression Obsession stamp - Crackle inked with Timp Holtz Distress ink with Tumbled Glass. I cut it into strips and edge with the sewing machine. I next cut with Spellbinders Labels 4 in Bazzill Gumball.

I used Vellum with Hero Arts Striped Flower and Clear Stamp 'Sew me Flower Jewel', I stamped with the Colorbox Frost White and emboseed with a Heat Gun with American Crafts Zing Opaque.
I used several layers together and added with Ranger Pop-it shapes to give some volume.
I decorated the Labels 4 with the flower and  Simon's Exclusive Harrington Vine and the Memory Box Lorelai Leaf. I finished with May Arts white Grosgrain ribbon and some seed pearls for the flower center from my stash.
