Less is More - Purple

Welcome to 2018!  Hope everyone had a terrific New Years Celebration!  Here's to wishing everyone a wonderful year!

I have a giveaway going on...if you are interested check it out here.

We have a new challenge starting over at Less is More.  This is our first challenge of the new year and we have some changes to the challenge for 2018! We are moving to a two week challenge...this gives everyone just a bit more time to develop their beautiful creations!

Our challenge for this week is a color challenge.  And purple is the color on tap.  Here's my take on the challenge.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!




I choose to go with a simple inlaid die design for this challenge.  Just a bit of simple stamping with my newest stamp set from My Favorite Things using two different color purples.  I then die cut the sentiment and used copic markers to color it.




Here's a bit of a close up of the design.  You can see that there is no dimension---so makes for easy mailing.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
