A Touch of Red



This card is for Week 9 of the Less is More blogspot challenge; Jules Sunday Snippets; and SCS Featured Stamper Challenge. This weeks theme at Less is More is to use a touch of red. The inspiration came from this card at Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper challenge. And once again I was able to use all scraps.

This is actually the second card I made for this challenge. The first card is an odd size at 3x6. It's not very good, but I can add it to my basket of give away cards and I'm sure one of my friends will snag it. :)

Not much to tell about this card; I used SU!s whisper white, basic black and real red card stock. The stamp is from SU!s Asian Artistry; the sentiment from Verve's Wordy Birds set; the oval punches are SU! and the edge punch is Martha Stewart. And of course, I had to have bling, so I added red Kaisercraft pearls to the bottom edging. I'm thinking about putting some glitter on the butterflies ....... I might try it on that small first card I made.

Thank you for stopping by; your comments are greatly appreciated. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.

Carole

    Love the way you have used the butterflies as a focal point rather than flowers. Beautiful!

    Hi Carole

    What a beautiful card. I love it.

    I blew your picture up to look more closely and that punched border at the bottom and the red pearls finishes everything off perfectly.

    Gorgeous and inspirational work.

    Thank you for sharing.

    I hope you have a better week this week.

    Love Jules xx

    Thank you for the comments on my snippet cards. You touch of red card is really lovely. I love CAS cards but struggle to do them. I always have the impression that something is missing.
    sorry about your Vertigo problem must be really annoying not being able to do what you want.
    Take Care.
