Less is More - Recipe

Another week has flown by and can't believe we are nearly in April. Have been a very bad blogger of late and have not done much on the card making front as work, decorating and now the lovely weather so the garden is calling all seem to be getting in the way!

Spent a lovely day at the NEC yesterday and brought some nice new stash, mainly die's I was after and some perfect pearls, which I have never used before and came away with lots of ideas. Seeing the cards in real life, specially the LOTV cards I was amazed how truly beautiful and sparkly they are you so don't get to see that when you are just looking at them on-line, not that they don't look fab they are just so much better in real life.

Anyway enough waffle, this weeks challenge at Less is More is a recipe using any 3 of the previous challenges.
I had to use one of my fab new dies from Marianne and sparkled it with some stickles. Stamped and embossed the sentiment and trail in silver. Do think it is missing a little something, but then don't I always hehe. On a first attempt I had stamped some tiny butterflies in the back ground and dusted over with perfect pearls in pearl which looked affective but wasn't sure so left it off the final card might just try it again and see what it looks like.

Challenges used:

Week 14 White on White
Week 16 Butterfly
Week 55 Punches or die cuts

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend and enjoying the sunshine :)
