Very last minute for Less is More!

Nearly didn't make it, but found some time today to make a card for this week's challenge at Less is More, which is 'shades of grey'... not a colour I'd usually use but I'm quite happy with this one :o)


I found some textured grey cardstock that's probably been sat on the shelf for years and the spiral flowers are cut from felt.

Items Used
Birthday stamp - LOTV
'wishes' stamp - Stampin' Up (with the 'birthday' bit masked off)
Memory Box Lavish Branch die - MCH
Spiral flowers - might be MFT die but not sure!
Felt & silver pearls from my stash
Memento ink in Grey Flannel

Off for a little commenting catch up... Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

    What a beautiful card. Grey is not a colour that easily springs to mind for cardmaking, but it works wonderfully :o)

    Such a gorgeous CAS card - I am so loving the LOTV big sentiments at the moment and I love how you have used it with the small 'wishes' stamp - fab idea!
    Oh, and those rolled felt flowers are just wonderful - so tactile!

    Hugs, Kat xx

    This is elegant. I've never made flowers like you have. These are so pretty made of felt...the texture of them looks gorgeous. How wide are the strips you use? I always figure they'll make my card too "fat" to mail! I love this card and on my screen it looks more lavendar than gray. :) --Gail
