PLay date Cafe & Less is More cards.

Two cards tonight and both very different.

The first one I made I was inspired by the Playdate Cafe- A challenge blog with colours as the focus. I am not very good at using my flower embelishments or making vintage style cards- This is an in between one I think.

Click the picture to take you to the site- and check me out for mastering links (Hopefully??)
Here's the card.



I used the lovely french lace doily die that I got last week, and love it!

And for the next

LESs IS MORE- Happy Birthday girls and thanks for the inspiration and making me feel that I am a crafter even thouh I can't do vintage!

Today I was delighted and found a little craft shop about a mile from my house- sold mostly ready made things, but... It had lovely rolls of lace and in aqua too- A result.
So I've made 2 cards although can only enter them once as they're both so similar. I used sentiments from botanical silhouettes from Papertrey ink and bought the crocheted flowers from the wee craft shop too.





Thanks for your comments,
Claire xx

These are all lovely cards Claire but the LiM ones are my favourites and I especially like the Best Wishes one. The crochet flower is stunning against the aqua lace! Vicky x
