I have been trying to use this motto as I look at cards others makes and think, this is so simple and clean and fresh. A couple of my friends are really good at this clean and simple approach ( yes I am refering to you B and C). Why is it I am always drawn to ribbons and bows and flowers and pins and pearls and......? Why is it that I always have to use an image? A card doesn't seem to be a card unless I use an image and yet I look at cards without them and have to admire them.
So that brings me to my attempt last night of "less is more". I chose red and white as my colour scheme CAS will be easier with only 2 colours......right? Chose my image and coloured it, keeping to red and white, (well except the hair). Doing well so far. Checked out Sassy Cheryl to see what this weeks challenge is. "Emboss it", yep that works. Embossed my background, made a snowman, embossed him. Ok and this is where I started going a little off track........less became way more than more.......
So to answer the question " is less more"? Well how can it possibly be the question doesn't even make any sense.
I would like to ennter this into Sassy Cheryl's challenge #89 Emboss It

Ha, ha, ha... I think it's a very logical question. Wish I could do "more" the way you do! Very clean and two of my favorite colors together. Just don't think I can say simple, sorry ;) Have bling envy in addition to bow envy now.
Less is more? I love them both! I think it totally depends on your mood or what you're going for. I personally LOVE this card and think that it is just PERFECT! Thanks for playing in the Sassy Cheryl's EMBOSS IT challenge this week.
Oh K, please draw me a map to your "off track" bling festooned happy place! I have a drawer full of stuff and not a clue what to do with any of it!
I love your card, all my favourits things, lot's of dots,pearl, Sassy image and red and white :)
Thanks for joining us in Sassy Cheryl's Challenge :)
Love all the details in that card....hmm you just gave me an idea about which sizzix folder to invest in for Christmas cards.
Whether CAS or less is more, I think your card is lovely.
Karen, you must know that you and I suffer from the same predicament. It's gotten so bad at my house that even if I ask my hubby what he thinks, he answer with...I think it needs a little more.... sigh* guess we should resign ourselves to the fact that we will always be adding more to our stash to create unCAS cards :)
Love the red and white theme and the cute snowman you made yourself :)
I always try for less,, but always seem to end up with the more! oh well, we must do what makes our creativity happy!
Your card is Just Sweet as can be! I love all the fun embossing, and your wonderful coloring!
So glad you joined us in the Sassy Cheryl emboss it challenge!

Oh, Karen, this is wonderful! The embossing is perfectly marvelous with this design and your coloring is great!
So glad you joined us this week for the Sassy Cheryl's challenge.
You like all the embellishments because you have a dramatic/romantic personality. At least that's what I read somewhere. Lol I am the same way. I just love your flower cluster and little embossed snowman. Beautiful card!! Thanks for playing in the Sassy Cheryl's challenge. ~jeni :)
