I’m back again today with another card for Less is More Week 173. Today’s card is very simple and clean! I’ve combined my love of water-coloring and die-cutting to create my card.
For those of you who don’t know a couple of weeks ago I start a watercolor class and absolutely loved it. Before, the class started we were instructed to practice using our “stuff” and I created a couple of single pieces. I had hoped to use my pieces during the class but never did because I create other cards. So, when Less is More decided that their recipe this week would be Die Cut, I knew I had to use this piece on my card. No need to throw anything away, especially a big Hug as pretty as this.
I know I wanted to keep my card very simple because the watercolor image is so powerful by itself.
I die cut out 4 hugs and attached them to my watercolor piece to create some dimension on the front of my card.
Side note: I’ve been working on improving my photograph. The background of these pictures are a little dark but I like the effect. It gives the card a warm feeling which is what I love in the words of Olaf, “I Love Warm Hugs“!!
So, what do you think? Do you like “Warm Hugs” too?
Let me know.
Supplies used:
I also used Stampin’ Up! Bring on the Cake stamp set that retired.
Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you Elaine!! I explored your site as well and your cards are awesome. All of your die cut cards are great. I love your watercolor flowers. They look great. My favorite is the orange flower, that color really made the card pop.
Yes, that class was amazing. I really enjoyed it. I hope they do a part two.
What a fabulous CAS card. Love it! xx

Hugs are the best – did you know that they are recyclable? If you receive one you don’t want you just recycle it and pass it to someone else 🙂 Helen T (No 123)
Hey Helen, you are funny and so right!!! LOL, I never thought of hugs in that way, but its true. I stopped by your blog and I love both of your cards but the second one is my favorite. I have the thinlits die, I need to use it more often. Welcome to the blog world.
