Welcome back to another fun challenge at Less is More. For the next fortnight, we are asking you to use black and light purple on your Clean and simple creation.
I had several goes, as usual, trying to get the correct colour, every time I thought I had it just right and went outside to take a photo it looked insipid so this is the nearest I got to being satisfied.
I used the Spellbinders sealed ginkgo die for the main element and watercolored the leaves using a mixture of shaded lilac and wilted violet distress oxides. The oval frames are also courtesy of Spellbinders as is the wax seal. I added a little black strip to the side as I felt there just wasn’t enough and there you have it.
We would love to see your creations at Less is More the Design Team has amazing cards to inspire and delight so come along and join in the fun.

I can’t believe such a simple card can be so eye-catching. The colour is so pretty and the texture of the flowers really draws the eye. The frame shape and black edging add even more interest and I love the wax seal. A real feast for the eyes x
