A mixture of challenges!!

Hello everyone,

Back from a weekend away and have just about caught up, it's been one of those days when craft time was on and off all day so it feels like it took forever to make this card !
It's for this weeks Less is More and the very generous Mandi and Chrissie are letting us choose three of the past 29 challenges to mix up and produce a card with ..... what a fab idea I hear you say .... the hard part is choosing three!

In the end I decided on

Wk#1 - Pink and Black ( I missed the first week so I just had to do this one )

Wk#4 - Three Squares

and

Wk#12 - Off Centre

As you can see the large outer frame is raised up so the stamped flower panel sits inside the aperture and the two smaller squares overlap the edges slightly. The images and sentiment are from a 'new to me' PTI set called Gracious Vases and I've used my distress inkpads (Victorian Velvet and Black Soot)  to colour the vases and flowers.
To add an extra dimension I used some pink leatherette strap tied around the frame and, I faced my demons to add some fine glitter accents to the images .... I now have very sparkly jeans too ! (sigh)



Thanks Mandi and Chrissie for another great challenge, it was great fun looking back through the challenges and older entries too :)

As I've used my PTI stamps I'm also entering this into the current challenge at A Passion for Papertrey which is anything goes .... may even get a chance to make another before Monday when it closes :)

Don't forget Thursday brings a new challenge over at St Luke's Charity Card Challenge please pop by then to see what we have in store for you :0)

Oh .... just wanted to ask if any of the Limettes from the UK are going to Alexandra Palace in September to the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking show, details here. I thought about going but not sure what day yet...would anyone want to meet up??? Just a thought?

Anyhows ... thanks for looking , love to hear what you think X
