Jubilee Colour Challenge at Less is More

By
The ladies at Less is More have this week set a colour challenge - Red, White and Blue.
Here is my card



I was really pleased with this card - that is until I tried to photograph it. I just can't seem to get the light right to show off my embossed lines - how about this one .......any better?


The idea was to emboss the lines of the Union Flag (which I copied from Google), I then layered this onto some red card stock which was then layered onto some white card stock which I had embossed using my Swiss Dots embossing folder and Cuttlebug. I then just added 3 blue flowers with blue gems in the centres.

Thanks for looking - hope everyone enjoys all the Jubilee festivities - Jacqueline xx

    This is great! I assumed that flag was an embossing folder, but have you done it by hand?? Very impressed! M x

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.

However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
