Less is More - Pastels

Week 5's challenge over at Less is More is Pastel Colours.

I used an old Anita's stamp of roses for my main theme.  I stamped in Stampin Up Old Olive and then coloured with Promarkers.  I then die cut the image using a Spellbinders labels nestie - I used the two largest sizes to create a main focal image and a frame.  I tied a piece of ribbon around the frame and put it directly onto my square card.  The main focal image was placed using foam pads with some glue stick on them to allow me to manoeuvre it into the correct position.  The pink swirl is a Marianne's die.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up Sincere Salutations stamp set and again stamped using the SU Old Olive.  I used the same labels set (but a smaller die) to cut this out.

Thanks for dropping by.

  10. Beautiful and elegant card Karen, great colours too; not sure i would have used the ribbon and the swirl... Marianne's die cuts are soooo gorgeous and emboss so well. Like them better than the Spellbinders ones:-)
