Less is More Challenge

Hi all,  

It's been a lovely bank holiday on the South coast , lovely warm weather. We made our first visit to the newly opened Costa which opened on Saturday in Chandlers Ford. They have knocked two shop units together and made a very good job of it.

My post today is an entry for the Less is More Challenge (http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk) where the theme this week is either to use three colours or three shades of one colour.  I have tried to do something that is not my usual style , this is what I have produced.


What do you think ?
I have used three shades of blue , Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party.


Back to work tomorrow , and the marking begins in earnest . I have about 65 web projects to mark followed by 4 dissertations so it's head down for the next few weeks.

Have a good week

Until next time

Lovely as a tree

Image
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.
