Less is More 4 year anniversary

Good afternoon bloggers.
Unusual for me to be posting on a Wednesday but I made this card earlier in the week and only just got around to posting.
Over at Less is More they are celebrating their 4th year with their challenge blog. 

It was one of the first challenges where I felt I was at home. I was trying to find my style, many cards at the challenges I had come across in the early days were very busy. Now I'm not knocking that style but I was never happy layering it all on and it costs the earth to post a card like that! So when I found Less is More it was a relief to find a home from home so to speak. So I just had to play along to say thanks for inspiring me to bring forth my inner CAS!
The theme for this challenge is -

PINK and GREY

I have seen lots of cards over the last couple of years that have used this colourway, especially dark grey and vibrant pink. So this is my version -


I stamped a Dylussions background stamp in Versamark over the grey card panel then embossed in clear. The HAPPY from my STAMPlorations Boxed Bloom set was stamped then embossed in white and the BIRTHDAY was die cut using my MFT alphabet dies in bright pink Bazzil. To feminize it a little I added a few beads and crystals before mounting it onto a plain white base card.

I shall also enter the challenges at :-


Thanks for calling around, hope to see you back again soon.

    LOOOOOVE everything about this. I'm a layerer myself, mostly because I can't seem to get away from it. :) But when I see stunning creations like this, it makes me wish I could create it! Love how you've clear embossed the background.

    That's lovely. Would work well done in any of my family room colours instead of the pink, don't you think?
