I've been a bit of a numpty (technical term) this afternoon as I wanted to enter the Less is More challenge which I thought was cocktails, at least it was when I was browsing yesterday and I thought I had the perfect stamp -well two stamps really .
Being more of a 'less is not enough, it needs a few more embellishments, lots more stamps and a bit of glitter' girl I haven't done this challenge before so I didn't realise that the challenges run Saturday to Friday so I made the card, came on here to post and blow me down with a force 9 gale it is now Polkadots - back to the drawing board then.
All was not lost as I got out my white pigment pen and gave the LBD a bit of a makeover so I hope it's not cheating to use the card for the new challenge.
I made a template for the cocktail glass and sponged Adirondack Sunset Yellow and Watermelon through it and added Glossy Accent bubbles. The elegant lady is from a plate by 'I Brake for Stamps' and the word stamp came from a dutch firm.
Phew - think I recovered that one - must do better next time.

He, he. Sounds like the sort of thing I'd do, too :-) I don't think it's cheating at all. In fact, I think it's a brilliant idea and it looks great! She really would stand alone, with just the phrase, wouldn't she? Nice one, Ann x
