Less is More

I have haven't been round much this week. Last Friday I came down with a sickness virus and ended up in my bed all weekend. I am fine now thank goodness. I had an order for 40 invitations which I needed to complete, so what time I had was devoted to these. They have been delivered so I could make a quick card tonight for the Less is More challenge. 

It's simply white and a splash of red. I cut out the aperture with Nestie labels, the flower is Marianne Creatables and the hearts are from a Martha Stewart border punch. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Less is More - Cut it Out 

Totally Papercrafts - Make your own flowers

Sweet Stampin challenge - white on white

A little bird told me

This must be the quickest card ever.

Less is More has to be a one layered card and the theme is birds. My card is a digital image by Vera Ling (a freebie ages ago). It is coloured with Promarkers. What else can I say... oh Woodware corner rounder punch. That's it.

This card could be used for any occasion, a good one to keep as a standby. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Less is More - birds

Lollipop crafts - no embellishments 

Charisma Cardz - clean and simple
