Less is More week 55

Hi Ladies
The challenge this week over at Less is More is to use Dies or Punches. I decided that this week I would keep it very simple and used two dies , the Swirls Scribbles and the Fun Flowers die. I also kept colours to a minimum and used just white and yellow so that it would have a feeling of Spring.

Lovely as a tree

Both the Less is More Challenge and the Simply Stampin Challenge have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week.
The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
