For the first card I found a challenge blog just this week that calls for "Less is More" or LIM. With me, less is more or a one-layer card is near to impossible for me to create, so I hope to play more often and challenge myself! The challenge this week was to do something with legs, well, birds have legs, so this qualifies. I don't know if ribbons are allowed, I'll wait for someone from that blog to come tell me yes or no.
Supplies:
Vanilla cardstock
Antique Linen, Broken China, Vintage Photo Ranger distress inks
Ribbon, sponging, scor-pal, corner rounder, SU chalks, cinnamon stickles
For the second card I had fun with my prismacolor pencils, it is just a fun image to color.
Supplies: Rose, yellow, aqua, white cardstock, Stella and Rose DSP, retired SU DSP
Black ink
prismacolor pencils, spellbinders nestability, button, ribbon, Fiskars corner punch/embosser, edge punch

That pink and blue on the second card looks terrific.
Love the little bird sitting on top of the birdhouse. The flowers are beautiful too!

"Less is More"
Perhaps Less is More I love that one layered card. But the other one was the one I saw first actually. I love the coloured you used for it. Beautiful job!!
Gorgeous cards.
How pretty this is Peggy, love it.
Beautiful. Love this birdhouse set.
Peggy, both your cards are just darling. Super job!
Good job with that one-layer CAS card.
I just LOVE the first card, and I've been thinking of playing along with LIM too! I love all the white space, and the text looks great behind the image! The 2nd looks so pretty with that beautifully colored image and I love the design.
Both are very cute cards Peggysue, but I really love the first with the text behind the image.....how DID you do that?

PeggySue- You did a wonderful job on both of your cards! Lovely!
These are gorgeous. I love how you have the second bird colored. Congratulations on winning the LOC set!
Your LIM card is perfect. I've found stamping that particular image in one of the softer neutral colors really helps the detail stand out, too. Love your 2nd card with the lovely colors. Pink paisley is soft and pretty.
Both of your cards are beautiful, but I am a sucker for the CAS! Great design :)
Your LIM card turned out just right!
