Lots of abbreviations today in my post title: LIM – Less is More, a challenge blog for CAS – clean and simple cards or projects. DT is short for design team – a number of crafters who publish inspiration for the challenges every fortnight. Finally, we have CASe which isn’t really an abbreviation as such but comes to mean copy elements/everything from a starter card. This time, Elaine has given us our starter for ten with a lovely watercoloured rose theme. Alongside is my take on her card…

I’ve copied the colour palette in the yellow/orange flowers, the green background and the red ‘berries’. I kept to the floral theme and have also copied the break-up of the image into pieces. I used Letraset Aquamarkers (now Winsor & Newton) to add water-based colour which kept the colours nicely vivid. It’s always interesting to see what the challenge entries have chosen to pick out for their cards.
