You've Been Framed.



Just a quick post today showing the card I made for the less is more challenge which I am loving! Not too sure if I went a bit OTT by distressing the edges but I felt it needed a little colour to bring the look together,let me know what you think! :)

I'm using this card for the following Challenges:-
CYDA22,Monochrome,
 LIM19,One layer,in the frame,
Annabella Stamps,Masking and Sponging.
That's it from me for today,I hope you've had a good weekend.
Thanks for stopping by,
Julie.x

Simply lovely, the background colour is wonderful!

Really lovely card. I think the colour is super - I think the central image could stand without the edges being distressed. However, that said, it's still lovely with!

The central panel is fabulous but I would have left the edges simply white... all focus would then have been on the image!
It's super submission.
Thanks so much.
