or rather Kathy made me do it! She has nailed the less is more challenge and makes some wonderful creations! I bought some Sheena Douglas stamps which arrived yesterday as I wanted some swirly stamps. I have been seeing Kathy's and other people's cards for the 'off the page' challenge and saw some gorgeous cards. The stamps seemed perfect so I gave it a go. I have actually done about ten  more on 4x4 cards which I plan to give as part of a mothers day gift so mum has some notelets.

The cas cards make a refreshing change from those you would never get in an envelope or look like every single embellishment owned has been stuck on! I am quite please with these and love Mandi's (dt) card with the dress coming off the dge, I have a couple of dress stamps so may give that a go too!

I am entering this card into the Less is More Challenge.
