Less is More: Brown Eyes

Well I’ve spent a lovely afternoon with my nieces today.  They’ve been making cards for their mum and I’ve been making a card for this week’s Less is More challenge.  This week Chrissie and Mandi have challenged us to feature the colour of our eyes on a card.  So I’ve had to go with brown….it’s the closest thing to hazel!

I’ve used the Just Believe stamp set from stamping in to make this rather vintage looking card.IMG_1554 

I love this shape.  It makes a nice change to make a card that’s not a square.  Here’s a close up of the flowers.  I’ve added a pearl to the centre of each flower to detract from the fact that they are brown flowers….LOL!

I’ve inked the edges of the leaves to make them stand out a bit.

So I hope you like it!
