For our challenge we have decided to take our
"Less is More"
header as the inspiration for this challenge.
** Our blog header has a transparent panel behind the "Less is More"
This one however, has a white background to make it better to copy into your blog posts should you wish **

We love to see how many different ways this could be interpreted.
You could simply do a CASE of it or use any of the elements as your theme... a decorated frame, the music, the flourishes, the flowers, the sentiment, the colours, the little jewels, there's really quite a lot of scope to let your imagination roam.
If your link is somewhat tenuous however, we would like you to explain just what your inspiration was.

This is a straight case of our header. I used some Artemio music manuscript, a Kaisercraft collage stamp for the bottom part and a flourish whose origin is a mystery to me. I spotted the Less is More stamp on a website and bought one for Mandi and myself as I couldn't resist them.
I began by stamping the sentiment and then popped a mask over it to add the other stamps.
For this one I took my inspiration from the music and the flourishes, plus the general colours. Once more it's the Artemio music stamp and some Indigo Blu flourishes (they are rather difficult to spot beneath the SU butterfly).
The other stamps are from Blockhead. The inks are SU Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede applied with Ink Duster Brushes over a Post It mask across the bottom of the card. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

I was absolutely buzzing with ideas for this challenge, but, sadly my fingers weren't!! Nothing else would materialise. Isn't it strange when that happens! I have loads of part ideas nestled deep in my brain.....
My Keep Calm sentiment was computer generated. Keep Calm sentiments are everywhere over in the UK.
I mounted it with 3d foam onto a square of brown card. The flourish, I have used all this week by Cheery Lynn. Roses, gem embellishment and punched leaves to finish.
We cannot wait to see what you creative lot come up with
More than ever before don't forget.......
