Hello to Tuesday and anyone just calling by...
Yesterday, I couldn't wait to get onto my Less is More lovelies... I have been working flat out to complete some pretty complicated design work and I was in desperate need of some simplicity and white space! I was playing around with a circle punch for something else and then started playing around with these... I'd also promised myself some colour as a recent string of vintage makes have left me with a slight case of Sepia overload.
I just love these patterns, all topped off with a wooden fluttery. As everything is concentrated in the corner, I think you can get away with a splash of bright spots and florals! On a big scale it wouldn't work, but here the expanse of soothing green card tones it all down. YUMMY!
It was so much fun, I had to have another go and see what happened with different sized circles and more subdued colours. Again, a wacky combo but it all works...having the right sized sentiment also creates balance...almost three funky planets there!
And would you believe... yes, I have succombed to the Chrimbo Limbo. I spotted this lovey-dovey birdy paper in my scrap box, an oldie from Pink Paislee, and thought they might also be able to do a little 'Two Turtle Doves' show for me...
They were more than happy to play along and 'pop' with a touch of Festive Green in the mix. So there you go, three quick and easy card ideas. I do recommend a good dose of pretty papers and white space at least once a week. It did me the world of good! I must flutter away myself, thanks for taking a peek. Sarah.
These are all just great Sarah... whatever you do looks ace!
