My first 2 cards are very similar... the first embossed with silver and the second with gold, and I've used distress inks for the backgrounds. The flower stamp is Hero Arts, 'birthday wishes' sentiment is Little Claire and 'happy birthday' sentiment is CC Designs. Base cards made from Papermill Direct linen card - white for the first one and ivory for the second, black and red pearls from my stash.
I suppose my last one might not be quite 'less is more' enough... I've used a little metal present that's been in my stash for ages. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the embossed layer is raised up on foam pads and the present is set in a circle aperture (cut with a nestie die). Think the embossing folder is a Crafts Too one, the sentiment is CC Designs, mounted on a scrap of silver mirri card.
Thank you everyone who's left me lovely comments while I've not been feeling well, sorry I've been such a rubbish blogger lately... my next blood tests are on Thursday and hopefully they will decide exactly what's going on - in the meantime I'm trying not to panic and imagine the worst, but I do tend to be a bit of a worrier so I'm quite stressed at the moment!

These are all really nice cards: so classy! I love the base card...it's exactly the sort of detail a Less is More sort of card needs. Now, what's the bet that what your blood tests show up on Thursday is that you're stressed?!!!! Bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy isn't it...I'm worried I'm not well; I'm not well because I'm worried. I won't tell you not to worry, as a born worrier I realise what a pointless exercise that is, but I will say Thursday is not far away so not long now until you feel you are at least doing something proactive about getting better. Hugs, Dee
Fantastic card Lisa, that alst on is perfect!
Do wish you better, hope you feel more like yourself soon
Thank you
