After a Christmas hiatus, Less is More is back with a new clean and simple card challenge. ‘We’re probably all sick of sweat pants and casual clothes, so let’s look forward to a time when we can all dress up again’ sets off the clothing/fashion theme. I remembered that I had done some paper piecing of dresses when I was with Craftwork Cards and managed to unearth the ‘Sophie’ stamp set from 2016 which is perfect for dress-up!

The clean and simple card design calls for plenty of clear white space around the feature elements of the card. I’ve stamped onto Craftwork Cards ‘Vogue’ paper before fussy cutting around the elements and adding shading using ProMarkers. The head and hair were stamped onto white card stock before I coloured them in with ProMarkers.

I made a second card using the Craftwork Cards ‘Time Flies’ papers and sentiments. I didn’t like this one as much, so it didn’t get to feature on the design team blog post.
