Less is more challenge

Hi all
I haven't taken part in a challenge for a while so thought that I would take part in the less is more challenge http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/, where this weeks challenge is to use lime and black. Doing challenges often makes me come out of my comfort zone and do something that I would not normally design and this challenge set me thinking as I wouldn't usually put these two colours together.
I decided to use just one stampset , Everything Eleanor , which is a lovely set and this I what I did. I am no really happy with it as I would prefer to build up some layers.
Until next time

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.
