Less is More Challenge

This week the LIM challenge was a DL size card sketch. I hadn't made any of this size card for ages and in the last two days I have made three and then this sketch, how peculiar. Trying to keep it plain was difficult because my others had been matted and layered with a large image. I eventually decided to settle on my punched sun and the LOTV sentiment. Quite plain and very simple. I'm not keen on this card. My photo isn't very good either :(

Roll on next week!

    Is the sentiment printed on different card from the card blank? It looks like it on my monitor, I think that that maybe why you're not too keen on it... it doesn't quite look as though it belongs. What do you think Hazel?

    Yes, Chrissie, it's slightly deeper cream. I think I would have preferred an image rather than a sentiment. I might try again.

    Hi Hazel
    I think maybe if you had the suns on the bottom or the panel, rather than both, it may have worked better. Sorry you;r not happy with it
    It is striking
    Appreciate you joining in

    I like the bright yellow and the sunshine punch, and that fact that you've stuck on the punched out suns. I like the sentiment too - but I think the white is a different colour to the base card (something I've done many times).

    Hazel, I love the bright yellow...and black is always a great color to mix with yellow!

    I'll share a little trick I use when photographing my cards. I take a photo from a little ways back, so that there is a background with my card...kind of helps the cards pop out more. I used a solid 12 x 12 cardstock as a backdrop in a coordinating color. Then I just crop the photo down a bit to remove any unwanted areas, but still keep a bit of a border around the card.

    Susan - that's exactly what my husband said when I showed him my rubbish photo. He told me I'd cropped it too much. I was trying to crop it like a scanned image.
