Less is More Challenge - week 53

This week the challenge at the Less is More Challenge Blog is a colour one.
AQUA
I didn't think I had anything in this colour but it's amazing what you can find when you start looking!
I saw a lovely card here (great blog to visit) and this is my version of it. I'm thinking that there may be too many layers/embellishments to be a 'less is more' card but it's done now. It's a snowy day here in the Scottish Borders so snowflakes seemed a good starting point.
The snowflakes are made using a Spellbinders die (with various brads in the centres from who knows where!) and the embossing folder is from Stampin' Up. The greeting is Anna Griffin's - had to stamp in black as I didn't have any aqua ink and my silver is all dried up.
Enjoy the snow!

Today (10th Feb 2012) I decided to do another version of this card in red.
Here it is:
Not sure which I prefer but perhaps the aqua one which is a bit of a surprise for me as I love red, especially for Christmas cards!

    You do have a few layers, but the main design is CAS and is very pretty, so that's fine with me!
    Lovely snowflakes!
    Thanks so much

    I love your card Fiona, I love Aqua, very hard to find this colour. Love the snowflakes with different brads. Excellent design.
    I'm glad to say we have no snow but very cold. Thinking of my family having snow there.
