Less is More Week 171 - One Layer Thanks

 Exciting news at Less is More as we welcome the talented Sarah to the Designer team, we now number four Designers with, of course, Chrissie as the Head Honcho :).  I also have exciting news as one of my Light Sussex ladies has hatched out a brood, when I took this photo last night she had three chicks, but she now has a brood of six... 

On to the cards and we are at One Layer week, with the theme of Thank You.  My first card was made using my Portrait,  I cut the words from coffee coloured card and again from a gold shimmer card and embedded them into the cardfront.  I added a couple of embossed lines and then some golden gems.  I love this card, couldn't be more CAS...

Second card is stamped using Visible Image stamps that I bought at Ally Pally, I stamped in Shaded Lilac Distress ink and then overstamped with a dark blue Versafine, looks rather like cornflowers.  The background is shaded with Squeezed Lemonade DI, the sentiment is Stampin' Up. 
 

I look forward to seeing lots of one layer inspiration this week, don't forget to keep it CAS!

  3. Both are lovely, Anne! I didn't realise that the letters were inlaid into the first card - really clever! Flowers and thank you always go together well :)

  4. Great cards Anne and thanks for welcoming me to the team in your post - it means a lot. The flowers on that second card are fabulous and that blue just pops. The first card is cool and I'm going to have to give that inlay technique a try. Sarah xx

  9. I love the way you've show-cased two very different cards here - a lovely masculine one and, my favourite, the feminine floral. Very excited about your chick photo - had to call all the children over! Vicky x
