Well, I didn't think it possible to come up with a second idea for a card using the colors of my flag (in this case red, white and blue) but somehow I did. The current challenge at Less Is More - Week 27 is to make a clean and simple card using the colors of your country's flag. I made a card the other day, and I found it very challenging. This, as I said, is not my go-to color combination for cards.
However...I remembered this Hero Arts butterfly. So I took it out, colored in the wings with red and blue Marvy markers, and stamped it onto a piece of scrap. And I liked it! One thing led to another, and here is what landed on my craft desk when it was all done...
Materials Used: Hero Arts (C4783) Multi-Pattern Butterfly, (CL493) Live Life set; Marvy markers;
I want to thank all the lovely ladies from the Less Is More blog community for all your lovely comments. I really appreciate it! I am going to put on my jammies early tonight and pull up a chair to my computer and start visiting each of your blogs...I wish I could do it more often, but I am finding it so hard when I am here with the four kids during the summer. (We seem to be always on the go!) Thanks for understanding...and thanks for visiting!
Have a great day,
Judy
This turned out so good! I love that embossing folder, and such a great butterfly. TFS

I'm impressed you made a second card, its a tricky colour combo for a card isn't it. I love how your butterfly is flitting into the space in the embossing :)
