Less is More - Week 14

Hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday! Thank you so much for all your lovely comments yesterday. I really do think all the positive thoughts over the last few weeks have helped. Not surprisingly,  I had the best night's sleep I've had for months last night but still woke up at stupid o'clock wondering what the new Less is More challenge would be! What a challenge it is too; White on White! Now this is something I've never done before so I was keen (and a bit scared!) to get started and after three tries this is what I've settled on. I can't make my mind up whether I like this card or not; I look at it and like it then a few minutes later I don't!! I dusted the cobwebs off my Cricut and my only cartridge to cut the sentiment and as it looked quite plain and modern I thought the rest of the card should follow suit. I used my Swiss Dots folder to emboss some card and then punched out the hearts. I left some of the hearts plain and then added some glamour dust to finish. The second part of the challenge  is actually taking the photo! Maybe I'm the only one who's struggled as the entries and photos so far are stunning!! I don't envy Chrissie and Mandi the task of choosing cards to Showcase this week. Anyway, enough nattering - here it is!


Thanks for visiting and, as always, I value your comments.
I'll be round to visit later and drool over your lovely creations!

Hi Katina. Really elegant card. Love the all white theme and the hearts are gorgeous. Like the pattern and detail. Also have a cricut sitting on a shelf gathering dust. Sometimes it is nearly too much hassle to lift it down and set it up. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Donna
