Less is More, really not sure!

Hello again,

Yes that's right two posts in one day. Saturday for me is challenge day, and Less is More is always a challenge. This week the challenge is a one layer card that features embossing, either heat or dry. As I went down the dry embossing route last week I thought I would go with heat embossing for a change this week.

I decided to frame my card blank using the Elegance wheel and wheel guide, its really great for mitred corners, and of course getting a straight line!
I then heat embossing my sentiment in the centre, which is Elegant Thank you, I know that a one layer card should use only minimal embellishments so rather than add ribbon and a giant bow, (which I was really tempted to do!) I added glitter to the border, not sure if this picture really shows it that well?, and four rhinestones, one to each inner corner.


I'm really not sure at all about this card, but I'm sure that the queen bee's of LIM and the trusty LIMette's will let me down gently.

See you tomorrow

As promised a card.....

Well after going on this morning I thought I'd better get some cards made,
I like to get a few done on a Sunday so I have some ready to post for the week, so don't forget to pop back later this week for more cards.

Here's today's


It was made using the Elegant thank you stamp, one of the a la carte stamps available on the back page of the catalogue, these stamps are so handy if you are on a tight budget (prices start from only £5.95) but still need your stampin' up fix!
