Less is more - Polkadots

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.

Yippee!

Thrilled to find out that I'm one of the winners on the August Crafty Individuals challenge - Bright and Beautiful.  This was my first prize based challenge and I loved doing it and apart from the thrill of winning I get to chose a CI stamp - mmm, that will prove difficult as there are so many of the new ones I like. 

Should I go for the haberdashery/fashion plates , the round 'seals' or the tickets, decisions, decisions.  Knowing me I will chose all of them and then get the plastic out for the rest. Good job the weather is not too kind today, will give me time for a good browse round the CI shop.
