Less is More attempt 2

 I am beginning to think I am a glutton for punishment and I need to stop loving a challenge ...!!!!  This week's Less is More is OLC with the focus on the sentiment ... my first attempt included a flower stamp that might detract a little from the sentiment so .... I had another think.  I only have the LOTV additions sentiments with me on holiday  (not that I do sentiment stamps!) and while I was looking at them the idea of layering some of the words came to mind.  I would have liked to have put them in an embossed panel ... but no Bug as on holiday, so I just stamped them directly onto the card.


 I deliberately placed party at an angle, and then added Be fabulous to the bottom ... quirky angle thanks to a small, very excited child telling me that "its Naini's birthday"!!!!!  I felt it needed some strong colour so I added this turquoise ribbon ... strongest colour I have here.

Does it work ... oh I don't know ... I am so uncomfortable with sentiments!!!

Great messages and with the kids now on school hols that's what I'm going to do....... well at least the taxi service will slow down a bit! TFS

I think that's a cool idea CAthy
I guess if 'party' was in a matching colour to the ribbon, it would highlight it more?
However, here I go again! lol
Well done, specially with limited supplies

Love your card. I think that is what appeals to me about the LIM challenge - you can create something fabulous with so little and it is so quick.

Cathy, I can't believe your dedication to our challenge... a second submission from your holiday... thanks so much, I wouldn't know where to start to make a card whilst away from my supplies!
Well done you!
