A CAS sketch for Less Is More

Good morning LIMettes! 
How are you? We are having a bit of an Indian summer here in Bolton, are you? 

Well, on to the challenge at Less is More now, and this week we have a sketch.


Here are my cards...


This first one I've made is using Pleasant Poppies, and I made a frame using 2 framelits. 


The sentiment is from Express Yourself.

This second one is made using Christmas Collectibles and More Merry Messages.


I heat embossed the bauble in gold and the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler. 


I also heat embossed the edges of the circle panel and the card blank to give definition while keeping the card very CAS. I fussy cut the sentiment to overhang the panel.

Supplies
Cardstock - Whisper White, Crumb Cake
Stamps - Pleasant Poppies, Express Yourself, Christmas Collectibles, More Merry Messages, 
Ink - Versamark, Poppy Parade, Old Olive, Basic Black
Embossing - Cherry Cobbler, Gold
Framelits - Circles Collection

More Poppies

Hello!
Here is another card using the gorgeous Pleasant Poppies stamp. For a stamp I wasn't too sure about at first, I am really loving it now!

The ribbon is the lush Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and the sentiment was computer generated.

Cardstock - Whisper White
Stamp - Pleasant Poppies
Ink - Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Basic Black

Supplies
Cardstock  - Riding Hood Red, Whisper White
Stamps - Pleasant Poppies, Petite Pairs
Ink - Poppy Parade, Old Olive
Punch - Scallop Trim Border
Ribbon - Lucky Limeade Ruffled Edge
