This is my card for this week's progresive challenge at Designed 2 Delight.

Pyramid image

This is a first time for me at making pyramid image... And I think, for first time is not so bad!

I only used purple cardstock as mat for the image and the sentiment. Yesterday, the DT ladies from Less Is More were visiting me and many of them told me I need to leave more white space for their challenge, so I hope this one fits on it :)

Happiness bloom

I just realized the last two week's projects I'm using orange almost in every card, because of auttumn, but I think also because I like it :)

This is my card for this week's Free image progressive challenge at Designed 2 Delight. First Friday of the month, Faith offers a free image and if you use that in a project before next Friday you get a new free image in your mail. And if you didn´t play last week, you can alway catch up buying the image for this week.

When I started this card I though to do it for "less is more" 1000 challenge, but I start to see many other challenges and although it's a CAS card is playing in more than 5 challenges... Anyways, I colored the cute image "happiness bloom" with acuarelable pencils, distressed the border with an orange ink pad and mounted it in an orange cardstock.

I used a peach cardstock as background and distressed the border with an orange ink pad and a textile too.
