Alot of resisting went on, I resisted embossing the white cardstock, I resisted adding more layers of cardstock, and I resisted adding a couple more buttons ... so it is really Less is More LOL!!
I didn't get round many people last week as Ellie has had gastroenteritis, so I am hoping to visit more this week.
As it has a button on it I am entering it into this week's Totally Papercrafts challenge, and Totally Gorguss Challenge.
I made this card a few days ago for the Sugar nellie Facebook challenge, but I haven't blogged it yet ...
I coloured Fairytale in using my aquamarkers and then matted her onto blue cardstock. I embossed the white cardstock and added a panel of blue co-ordinating dp from DCWV Pocketfull of Posies.
I am entering this into this week's Paperplay embossing challenge.
My Basic Grey Challenge post is below ... if you have time check out the challenge.

Poor Ellie, I hope she is better very soon. Both you cards are great, I do like the effect of adding buttons to cards. Jo x
Loving your resisting technique hun, great card, hugs Liz xx
You did an awesome job resisting!! I couldn't have done it. For me, your Sugar Nellie card is as simple a card as I could make, and even then I would have probably got out some glitter! Not that it needs it or anything, but I find it very difficult to stop when my goal is a "simple" card. Good job.
Two great cards Cathy.
