For Less is More - water colouring

Hello sweet bloggers,

Thank you for your comments on my last card and I will leave it as it is...

The card I have to show you today is for the challenge over at LIM which is water colouring. 

I had this stamped image (from Hero Arts clear stamps) which I had coloured with my water colour pencils. I fussy cut the image and popped it on foam tape to make it look more striking.  Much as I wanted to use a sentiment I refrained so that this card is saleable. I have used one of my fave border punches from Ek Success and the kraft that you see under the brown cardstock is packaging material.

I will also enter this card in:

See you later.

Love,

Monica 

Sarah Hurley Challenge - Autumn

Hello blogger friends, I am back after a 4 day break and it seems like forever! Thank you for all your lovely words of encouragement for my last post. It means the WORLD to me...

I have got inspired by Shirley-Anne (I am a big fan of her's) to submit this for Sarah Hurley Challenge - Autumn...
I am not a great one for taking part in challenges but for once ...

The gold paisley paper on the base is from India while the orangish paper leaves are from a pound store in London. The flowers are homemade OFCOURSE... :)  I went over with gold glitter to make it look fancy.

The cream and gold mulberry leaves in the background have been cut manually from paper from my stash.

Hope you like it.
