Less is More Challenge - indeed it is...

Hello Saturday Crafties, Bloggers and Visitors,

Today sees the start of the new challenge blog from Less is More by Mandi and Chrissie. I am an all or nothing type of gal and I can easily and lovingly endure hours of tweaking, layering and embellishments. But my other alter-ego loves clean lines, purity and sincerity... So, I figured Less is More would be a real challenge and breath of fresh air - and possibly result in me getting some slightly earlier nights...famous last words. This week is the colour challenge using just white, pink and black..."a sassy but classy trio" that always delivers!

 I had this design idea in mind and knew this white Bazzil card-stock would come up trumps. First of all I did a trial run with scrap paper, just playing around with the composition and colours. It is very tempting to want to add just a smidgen more here and there...But in the end I decided to go with my original gut feeling - and first love of just ink and paper.

I also had to get used to be very neat, careful and smudge free! It was almost like being in the medical lab.

No disguising the blemishes with a bit of lace here..What you see is what you get. It is all very revealing when you keep things simple...a bit like life really!

I really enjoyed myself and I am very pleased with the end result. It was really good to have a fresh challenge and such a swift "imagine to creation" process, both of which will definitely enrich my crafting ventures.

Hoping you also have the chance to discover, dare and savour too.  

Enjoy your Sunday,

Sarah
