Take 2 On Less Is More


This is the first card I made for the Less Is More Challenge ~ Masculine.
I wasn't sure this fitted the criteria of Less Is More as have used a few layers on the card, so hence the card I posted yesterday.

I do like the colours in this one which I stamped with an old olive ink pad adding more colours with my SU! markers before stamping on to my card stock. I have then blended a little bit of the colour with my water brush, love the subtle effect it gives.

Now the question is which one do you prefer?

Not too sure if it meets the 'Less is more'criteria either, but it is a fab card all the same. I like the muted tones you have used. Love Sheila (Cyprus)

Another great card Sonia, hmmm which one do I prefer, maybe the other one....I like the colours better and the embossed lines....I think. Love them both though so it's not an easy decision lol :O) Viv xx

This is a truly lovely card, xx

I like this one very much too Sonia, It does have clean lines and has the CAS look about it although there is rather a lot on it.
I think it's a great card nevertheless!

I definitely prefer the first which was slightly simpler but they're both gorgeous.

Wow!
I prefer this one - not to say the other one is not good because it is.
