Less is More



Too simple to blog?

Less is More's latest theme is to have the text as the main focal point. Not sure I succeeded as I keep looking at the bee, but the text is the thing I read first, so the jury is out on that one.

Both stamps by Stampotique. (A World All Her Own and Medium Bee with a tiny bee on the side,...this is the tiny bee.

Also available from Happy Daze here in the UK.

    This is so striking Jo, with perfect composition (IMO), I too read the sentiment first then admired your small bee. I love your blue colour splash - still CAS but with lots to see.

    Yes, you do look at the bee, but only because the sentiment relates to her - loving the splatter. Lynn x

    jo i'm going to have to disagree, yes the bee is the first thing I saw, mainly because of that gorgeous blue jet of colour, but the sentiment is so gorgeous that it is that I will remember about your card, absolutely beautiful!

    Hi Jo, I think being drawn to the picture is just the way the human brain is wired... but then you linger on the sentiment. Either way this is seriously fab!!! Jo x

    Your corner of turquoise drew me in as it's such a beautiful colour. Broken China DI by any chance?
    The sentiment gives an ethereal feel, a place where you can hide and enjoy... The bee is beautiful and really makes the card :-)

    This works great for me...love the balance between the blue misting, sentiment and bee. The misting gives Mr.Bee somewhere to fly in to...
