Less Is More - Week 61

Good Morning,

Hasn't this past week just been great, sunshine everyday!  Think the weather is about to take a turn for the worst this weekend, but it has been nice while it lasted.

Now over to my entry into the weekly Less Is More challenge, this week is 'Lucky Dip' so there is a guest designer.

There has been a lot of cards floating about blogs this past couple of weeks using the promarkers colour graduation method.  I have never tried this myself so decided to give it a go.


I scored some lines over my colour panel just to add some extra texture, not sure how well it has shown up in the pictures.

Supplies Used:
ProMarkers (from top - Leaf Green, Soft Green, Tea Green, Almond, Pale Pink, Rose Pink)
Doodlebug brad
Prima Flowers
Papermania 'BirdSong' stamp for the sentiment.

Away to nip into Aberdeen today, my poor phone has broken so away to look for a replacement.

Hope you all have a nice weekend.

    Your colour graduation is fantastic Gillian. I tried this once and made a right mess of it. It makes a beautiful card.

    Sorry Gillian .. .. I seem to have missed some stunning makes on your blog recently.

    You have certainly been very, very busy!!

    The white butterfly one is sticking in my mind particularly. That was fantastic!!

    Loving your use of colour on this one .. .. very clever and effective.

    Hope you had a good weekend.

    Love Jules xx
