I used a Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes Embossing Folder

I am not overly fond of the hearts on the wings, but I had stamped red stars on them and Amy said it looked like a WW2 plane, and she was right so I covered them up , haha :-) I thought the cityscape looked a bit like NYC so I popped a yellow cab on there  ,,,,

Less Is More ,,,,,,,

Hi all :-) Please scroll down for this weeks House Mouse Challenge post :-)

 I love the colour theme on this weeks Less Is More Challenge,,,  Dark Green and Rust, very autumnal and I thought I would use some of my new dies from the Simon Says STAMPtember® release  :-)

I love these Pointed Feathers and decided to try to blend the colours to fit the challenge,,, I think they look fab in green and rust ! I was on a roll and also used the same feathering technique for the sentiment !!,, quite apt me thinks :-)

Thanks for looking, I really appreciate your comments so please leave me one :-)

Challenges :

Less Is More ,,,, Green and Rust

Unstampabelles ,,, Old stash or Scraps,,, I used scraps for the die cuts and the green card is ancient :-)

Hope you all have a great week :-)

I used this super cute 'Nature Bites' image for my card :-)

Well,, apples are traditionally an Autumn fruit and there is a leaf on it AND I particularly wanted to use my new Memory Box Tiny Tendril die as the shape matches the one on the apple   ! :-)

I spent more time deciding on what sentiment to use on this than I did making the card, and then I remembered the die sentiment and thought it is perfect ! Mudpie sure does look happy !! :-)
