Hello All!
Time for another 'Less is More' Challenge ! 
This week the challenge is this:
 
We have a very simple recipe this week and that is simply to make a card which is
NOT A SQUARE
nor a rectangle for that matter.
What we're really trying to say is that we want a shaped card.
 

 And here is my rather strange effort!It is the first time I have tried to shape a card using a Spellbinders Die and I made quite a few mistakes I can tell you,cutting out bits I didn't want to and so on!But the result is interesting and I used the cut outs as masks to add some distress interest! ( with the colour 'spiced marmalade).Very sparkly gemstones from papermania!Oh and that is my darling cat Jessie!He is completely wonderful!Thank you to all the lovely crafters that have left positive messages and comments..I can't quite work out how to respond to you individually,but will keep trying!With love and warm sunshine :) x

  1. This is such an interesting shape Alexandra... and so attractive. I imagine you had fun in the process of making this one.
    If you want to visit people who visit you, click on their name on their comment, this will take you to their profile, you then click on their blog name which is listed on that page and hey presto you are then able to choose a post to comment on.
    If you could link directly to your post rather than your entire blog it would help enormously. Instructions for doing this are on the help page on our blog.
    Thanks so much, it's great to see you back again this week.

  10. What a brilliant idea Alex - love the way you've used the cut outs as masks. As to your gorgeous cat - he actually looks like he's standing on the map of a new country ...... hope you get what I mean! Much like you I live with a connective tissue disease so can totally sympathise.

    Hugs.
