Hmmmm...More or Less?

Happy Kitchen Sink Monday!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend...I sure did! Now, since it is Monday, that means it is Kitchen Sink Monday!! For today, I combined my kitchen sink card with the More is More (MIM0709) fan club integrative challenge over on SCS. As many of you know this month's theme is tropical paradise...and when I think tropical, I think sea shells, and when I think sea shells, I think Kitchen Sink Stamps 3 step Sea Shells! I just love the dimension these stamped shells give!

For my card sketch, I used a sketch challenge from a few weeks ago...SC238. I really liked the simplicity of this sketch, yet you can dress it up a bit more if you like! So for my "less card" You can see that I stamped three different shells for the different image panels. I then added a bit of baja breeze ribbon, and the sentiment...which is from the new Words of Comfort and Joy set.

I did a few things differently for my "more card". Here I knotted the same baja breeze ribbon. I also tore the bottom edge of the creamy caramel layer under the images. Additionally, I sponged the edges with creamy caramel, and added three antique brass brads.

Now...tell me what you think...which one do you like better...the more of less card? I am sure it is just a personal preference thing, but I kind of would like to know what you all like a little better. Some prefer more clean cards, while others prefer a bit more to their cards. Let me know what you think!! :)

Please head on over to see all the other creation the Crew members have created week for you!!

  6. Such gorgeous cards Connie. Hmmmm...it's a tough call. They both are fabulous. I actually love aspects of both. Love the torn edge under the shells and the brads, but love the CAS look too. (I'm not being very helpful am I?) *giggle
