The current challenge at Less Is More #448 is to 'CASE' (copy and share everything) one of the design team's cards - this is the inspiration card
I decided to use snippets of patterned paper from a beautiful pad I had bought at The Range - florals and spots in shades of yellow and teal. The greeting came free with a magazine as part of a bigger stamp set.
A very simple card but of course that's what the concept of Less Is More is all about.

It's Monday which means there is a new challenge at Dream Valley Challenges ...
The very appropriate challenge this week is:
***Christmas in July***

Papers - from my stash (from the Range)

Snowfake/swirl dies - Sara Davies signature
Flat-backed pearls - The Range
I'm entering this card into the 'CHRISTMAS IN JULY' challenges at:
Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday July Challenge

A very simple retro style card today for a friend whose favourite colour is green (but she isn't called Gwen!)...
What I used:
Image - Gwen from Vera Lane Stamps
Patterned Paper - DCWV
Coloured with - Promarkers
Greeting - created in Publisher using Penelope font
She's delightfully quirky isn't she! I've decoupaged her hat and added tiny pearls to make it really stand ot - the card design is very simple because I wanted Gwen to be the star of the show. The greeting is of course from Dr Seuss.

I'm back after a short break and because it's July I've made a quick Christmas card - as you do.
I've used an A5 card base so although I've used strips of patterned paper, there is still a lot of 'white space'.
What I've used:
Stamps and Greeting - Clearly Besotted
Patterned strips - Dovecraft's Little Red Robin collection
Coloured with Pro-markers.
