New Challenge at Less Is More: Neapolitan!


Hi friends,
we have a new challenge for you at Less Is More! It's our color challenge week and this week we'd like to see a trio of brown, pink and white in your cards!



When this challenge goes live I'm enjoying London with my wonderful friend Sandie from London Days! We two have met several times IRL already and I'm always so happy to meet my favorite crafty girl! If you don't know Sandie (probably impossible!), do pop by her blog and have a look at her CAS cards. You'll be inspired!

Anyway, back to the challenge:




Mmmm.. Neapolitan ice cream! By the way I had no idea it's called like this. :) Every day you learn something new!

I made a simple, quick card with a die cut panel (W+9 stamps), stamped sentiment (Clearly Besotted Stamps) + a bird die cut. I bought this birdie from a second hand table in a crafting event for 2 euros! What a bargain! I think she will be especially cute for baby cards. I cut her wing from patterned paper to add the third color and some extra interest to my card + scattered clear sequins here and there for sparkle. 

The month of June is sponsored by one of my favorite companies, STAMPlorations. I'd love you to go and have a look at their inspirational challenge blog and their store filled with fantastic stamps, dies and stencils! STAMPlorations owner and designer Shery is joining us at LIM as a guest designer in this challenge. She makes the most fantastic mixed media CAS cards! Don't miss her inspiration or the cards by our DT, click HERE


I hope to see you playing along at Less Is More! Thanks for popping by!

Ooooh! That adorable bird was a super little find Nonni! It looks so sweet in Kraft and adding the patterned paper for the wing was such a clever idea. A really crisp, clean and very CAS card from you this week - it is gorgeous. Enjoy your time in London with Sandie - and stay safe xx

I love this sooooo much, Nonni. What a wonderful look to the bird with the scallop edge panel and pretty, curved wings <3 The colour palette just works perfectly for this card - a very stylish folk-art feel to it which I love. Have a good week! x
