It's the most wonderful time of the year

Above is my card for LIM & Here is the sketch challenge:

I used a project life card "It's the most wonderful time of the year" and added a green strip with red and white bakers twine along with a red rhinestone for the holly berry and a clear for the inside medallion on the Stampin' Up image that reads "Merry Christmas". 

Celebrate Spring! Week# 162 OLC Spring Flowers

I wanted to use my washi tape instead of just collect it, so I created this card for the Less is More Challenge #162 one layer card with a spring flower theme.  I put down the washi tape then used my McGill flower punch to create the flower shape.  I decided to create a 3 x 3 with the flower die and added a black 3/4 inch circle in the middle of each.  I used a pink gel pen to trace the flower to the inside of the card so the inside has a flower too.  Celebrate Spring!

One Layer Card Male card challenge

For the Less is More card challenge #159
I created a one layer card with a male theme on retirement:

I used papertrey ink card stock, a car stamp by Inkadinkado and copper embossing powder by Tsukineko.  The sentiment stamp is unmounted and I bought it from a stamp convention and I can't remember the company name.  Retirement cards are challenging to create, so when I saw this saying I knew which stamp I wanted to couple it with! 

Less is more #9 A touch of red

Now here is a concept I need to adopt, I think I left enough white space (lol!) ~ I'm going to add a red ribbon across the top.   I've received some terrific comments that will help in the future. Thank you ~ Who would think trying to keep it simple would be so challenging!
