Less Is More week 43 - a bit of bling

This week at Less Is more the recipe is 'a bit of bling'. Easy for me as I just love my Swarovski hotfix crystals and a few usually find their way onto my cards!

I love this Nordic Winter set so much and have made several different Christmas cards using the set so far. My favourite stamp of all of them are these 2 little reindeers.



They look wonderful embossed in white on this vibrant blue card by A.Muse. I used super fine white embossing powder so that the reindeers didn't lose their tiny stitched detail. A little lilac crystal in the center of the snowflake and voila!



Thank you for looking today! I am off to see all your wonderful creations for this week's challenge now with a nice cuppa :)

    Hi Penny, great to see you in blogland again :)
    A gorgeously CAS card and your right about the detail...it's almost like you've stitched them on the card! I'll have to try this stamp set in white too :)

    This is fabulous. The white embossing looks great on the blue, and I love those Nordic images. :) Ann Y.

    The white on the blue is stunning and I thought it was cross stitch until I read your post, gorgeous Karen x
