More Wow!

The white-on-white challenge this week at Less is More has really appealed to me, so I've made two more cards! For the first one I've made an arrangement of punched flowers and leaves on a Nestie lace circle, with a punched butterfly and white pearls for the flower centres. Recently I was given a complete set of alphabet punches, so I used those to make the word "Spring".



I was quite pleased with it, but then I wondered whether it might be a bit too fancy for Less is More, so I made another which is much more clean and simple.

This has a Marianne die-cut flourish with a Martha Stewart punched butterfly, and the same punched letters as the previous card. I think I actually prefer this one.
I've really enjoyed making all these white-on-white cards, but I'm feeling the need for a bit of colour now, so that will probably be the last one for the time being!

    Once again you have excelled Lynne. These are both fabulous in my opinion. I actually love the first one but I can understand why you might think it a bit elaborate for LIM. Those punched letter are really great and I suspect you are going to find them very useful.

    Wow! Both stunning! I agree with you about the first one being a bit busy for LIM, although it is my favourite. I've started again, cos mine was resembling the royal wedding cake!
