Less is More #9 ~ A Touch of Red

Morning peeps its Mother's Day here in the UK so A very Happy Mother's Day to all mums. Hugs to those who have sadly lost their Mum  she will always remain in your heart!
  I was away yesterday all day so never got the chance to play along. For the regular Less is More players you will also see I've moved back to blogger. Wordpress was not for me. Welcome to my new abode!
So on to this weeks Less Is More challenge which is A Touch of Red *squeal I lurvs Red

I have used a Sheen Douglas stamp from "A Little bit Sketchy"  set and coloured using promarkers.
I used my Hougie board to create a lattice effect on the card layer.
The punched edge using Stampin Up Eyelet border justs adds a bit of interest to the card and I backed using red card from


Please remember to drop by Chrissie and Mandi and leave them some lurv.
Well I was spoiled rotten by my kids flowers and money for crafty goodies *big grin
and cards that had me in tears. you guys are "THE" best.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
have a super day whatever your plans
Stampin hugs

oh I love it. The embossing detail is brilliant and the strip of red card at the end finishes it beautifully.
