Another Less is More

Here's my second card for this week's Less is More Challenge:

I used my lace stamp from the Aspects of Design stamp set (The Stamp Man). I've had this set for years and never had much use out of it but I really love the lace design and had the idea in my head for this sketch.

The image has been embossed and then red ink sponged over it.  The heart is a Nellie Snellen die.  Again I embossed the lace image onto the inner heart and sponged with the same red ink.

The sentiment was done on the computer.

That's it for today I think. Sunday lunch is now calling.

Happy 71st Birthday, Mom

Firstly, I'd like to say hi to my new followers and welcome to my blog. I hope you pop by often.

This is the card I made for my mom's birthday.  It was very much inspired by Julie who's blog I visit often.  She makes beautiful cards and I've admired her great talent for ages. 

I used a Sizzix embossing folder, Nellie Snellen corner die and the flowers were cut on my Silhouette.  I inked the flowers up with gold ink - unfortunately, it doesn't photograph well and looks very dark in the photo.  The gold mat has a slight sparkle to it which again doesn't show up in the piccie, but it's very pretty.  The sentiment was done on the computer using a mix of fonts.
