Poppies card

Hi everyone, another beautiful sunny day again here.
I have another 'Less is More' card to show you today.
This week the challenge is a.......
Colour Challenge 
"This month we would like you to choose TWO opposite
 colours from this Colour Wheel"
This time I decided to use orange and blue. The blue
looked a lot more like turquoise when I took  the photo.
So I had to do a bit of altering in PSP to get it to show
 the right colour.I always have trouble with my reds looking
 pink too for some reason! I used some distress ink again 
and also another of my latest stamps ( Memory Box
 Luminous Poppies). I stamped , coloured  and cut the
 flowers out to add behind the little frame. A tiny butterfly
completed the card, come and have a closer look...........
ps. Had trouble with my cold/ virus /Asthma/breathing today. I 
just couldn't breathe properly at all and OH was most
 worried I might pass out lol.Called 111 and they said 
to call an ambulance....oh my! I managed to wait until our surgery
 opened and the Dr gave me steroids. Now breathing again
I am glad to report lol.
pps. a big welcome to my latest follower too, welcome aboard!

Colour challenge cards

Good morning friends/bloggers, it's a lovely sunny day here
 today. I hope you have sun too! Over at  the 'Less is More'
challenge  this week it's a ..................................................
Colour Challenge 
"This month we would like you to choose TWO opposite
 colours from this Colour Wheel"
(I will add it at the bottom or otherwise my card won't
 show up in posts.)  My first thought was to use 'violet red 
and yellow green', but my violet red ink wouldn't stamp
very well with my image. I tried instead some violet ink
which worked really well. Of course then I had forgotten
the colour violet should be teamed with yellow and not
 yellow green. Arghhh!! I only realised after I had finished
making the card and taken a photo...typical. So I set to
 work and made another, this time I couldn't get the image 
to stamp cleanly. So after numerous attempts I resorted to
making a matted image with one I was happy with. I 
added my yellow butterfly, gems and sentiment and job
 done.Phew.....and relax.Come and have a closer look
 at  my cards. I will show you both versions seeing as I
have already taken photo's of them.Rather liking the violet 
and green myself but you can choose which looks best.Not
 made a card in almost 2 weeks now, so struggling a tad.
ps. I am still feeling terrible with this  horrid cold virus and I
 am SO glad you can't see me too. I am not a pretty site atm. 
believe me lol, my eye is partially closed because of 
conjuntivitis. Having not slept again ( awake at 1 ish then
 got up at 5am., coughing all night etc. ) I don't have bags
 under my eyes now I have mahoosive suitcases! My eye was
 glued shut when I woke up so I was stumbling about trying
 to find the bathroom looking a very sorry site. Almost 
frightened myself when I caught site of my face in the mirror
 too.It's all not good people lol.Sorry for the long post now too.
pps.Ooops mean't to add.......a very big welcome to all my
 latest followers , welcome aboard and thanks for choosing me.

Few more cards

Hi again, just another quick post today, one card and few 'mistakes'.
 The first is for my niece's one year old, where did that year go??
 ...anyway glad to report she is now expecting baby number two.
 Very exciting for us all :) I made this  quick card using a Pink
 Petticoat digi image. Don't look too hard at the colouring please.
 I had mean't to add glitter to the dress but  then  forgot, so had
 to recolour it again,.... didn't take a new pic of course.The hair didn't
 turn out great either ! The last two were an idea I had but it didn't
 quite work out. Thought I would just show you anyway, after the
 second card I lost interest in doing another lol. In the first one
 I blurred the stamping,then added trees which didn't look right.
 In the second one I did the same again grrrr, gave up after that !
 I did like the shape though so just showing you anyway :) Hope 
you all have this lovely sun today.I didn't sleep well again
 so now off to bathe in a few rays! Take care my  friends.
