Less is More and ColourQ

I'm sharing cards for two different challenges today.

First up is the card I've made for Less is More 83, where the challenge is to use brown and pink.  I've used PTI out on a limb with Memento rich cocoa and Victorian velvet distress ink.  I added liquid pearls to the center of each blossom.  I tried both a cream and a brown card base, and can't decide which I prefer.  Opinions?



Second, I've made a card using the absolutely gorgeous color palette from ColourQ 153.  Isn't this beautiful?


I used PTI floral frenzy to stamp a background pattern around my sentiment.  For colors I've used Memento rich cocoa and cantaloupe, VersaMagic pink grapefruit, and ColorBox robin's egg.  These colors make me so happy. :)



Thanks for visiting today!

    These are all great cards Ann, personally I prefer the richness of the brown base to the LIM card, although both are lovely!
    Thanks so much

    Three great cards, Ann. I think the second one just has the edge over the first, and I love the bursts of colour on the ColourQ card.
