More Less is More!


This week's sketch over at Less is More has that 'Hold' on me I think!

I've done another one!

I was playing with circles and stamps and bits when I did my 1st card with the PB stamps, I uploaded it and went back to my desk and what was there....all of those punched circles and sentiment stamps I'd been playing with earlier!


This is what I came up with...


I masked off the top and bottom of the card blank - along with 3 circles.
Stamped a 'Thinking of You' sentiment all along the panel so when the circle masks were taken off I had clear spaces! I added a dried pressed Daisy to each circle - I got the Daisies from Joanna Sheen about 4 years ago!!!



I decided to add the sentiment in full too, just in case it couldn't be read in the panel!!!

I'm quite pleased with this (other than my smudgy stamping on the right hand edge!)

Have you popped over to Less is More yet?
There's some fantastic offerings for this week's challenge!
