Its not often that I make two such completely opposite types of card in one session.
One in the style I prefer, the other a style I struggle with, more about that later in the post.
This card has layers of embossed, distressed papers for the background. I used bundled sage, weathered wood and shabby shutters distress inks to colour and shade this card. The image is by Indigo Blu
The flowers and lace came from my stash box.

It is simply ages since I tried a LIM card.
Chrissie and Mandi over at Less is More have a 'Cut it Out' theme this week.
So away to the trusty Big Shot with an Spellbinder die and there was my 'cut out'.
Its a Memory box flower die inside the card, with a paper flower and button on top.
Thankyou for stopping by to take a look, I realy appreciate your comments.
Hi Yvonne , wonder which card you struggled with ? Both are perfect and as you say so different, I know you prefer the first one but they are both beautiful and you are such a versatile crafter, love them

So glad to see you again this week at Sugar Creek Hollow and love your card for our go girly theme. She is a very unique and interesting stamp. Your distressing and embossing add just the right tone to your beautiful card. Also want to say love the simplicity of your LIM card.
