Opposite Sides Of The Wheel

Morning LIMettes... I'm really not sure where this week has gone at all... But It's Saturday which means another challenge at Less Is More and this week we have a colour challenge for you.  This month we would like you to choose TWO opposite colours from this colour wheel...

Here are my card for this week....

My first card uses the colours Yellow-Green and Violet-Red and I have kept it very simple with a bright card base and a simple sentiment from Penny Black (Friendship T for Transparent).  The Butterfly is from Memory Box and the papers Stampin Up

Inspiration: Case This Sketch: #26

My second card uses Violet and Yellow and some fabulous polka washi tape... The die is also from Memory Box and the sentiment from Stampin Up.  I've added some stitching with my machine too.

Inspiration: Fusion #5

I'm off to Lili Of The Valley today so if anyone is going this afternoon be on the look out for me!!!

Mr Moustache

Morning... I have a very quick card for you today using the fabulous moustache images from Pink Petticoat.... I really love these and you may see them appear a few more times before Father's Day.  I really love the simple cards that you can quickly make, esp when you don't have much time to craft... 12 hour work days don't leave much time for it!

Card Recipe:

Black Glass Glitter
Twine: East Of India

I'm hopefully going to get some crafting done this weekend... I'll probably be going to Lili Of The Valley tomorrow afternoon if any of you are visiting the shop in Leeds...

See you all tomorrow...
