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
