Second post this week and it's only Tuesday!

Well, my Less is More mojo is on overdrive and I haven't made a mess of anything yet, so I made a few more bling cards. These were all very very quick too, which doesn't always go hand in hand with LIM!
My first uses a previously uninked stamp that I got last year. It is a Hero Arts cling stamp called Wreath of leaves. I just added a few gems and a little Hero Arts sentiment.
After that I remembered some other stamps I bought last year, and didn't really get round to using. These are called Joyful Bubbles by Paula Pascual and were an absolute snip at £4.99. I stamped both cards with versafine (Royal purple and majestic blue) then embossed with Kaleidoscope embossing powder, adding a couple of gems too. The first is the blue one...
 

...with a close up of the sparkle...
The second is the purple one...
...and another close up...
I am thinking this kaleidoscope embossing powder is seriously addictive!
Challenges:

    And they're great cards, too, Sally. Love them all but I love the blues, as I would, lol. Just what we need at Christmas - simple, quick designs - people don't appreciate much more anyway, if we're honest. Brilliant and glad you found time to stamp x

    Wow you're on a roll Sally! Love these cards and that fab EP. I really like the swirling wreath it reminds me of the weather today, very windy!
    I'll let you know if someone posts a link to our singing, there is nothing so far. There are quite a few of us over the past 3 years just put Hampstead Rock choir into youtube and up we come:) I'm usually the tall red head on the back row.

    That wreath looks fabulous with the red bling, and the embossing on the others has great shimmer and sparkle. Lovely. Ann Y.
