I stumbled across this challenge while looking through some of my favourite blogs and decided to have a go. The Less is More challenge this week is Lime and Black, now these aren't my normal go to colours ,but that is what a challenge is all about!
I have made two cards both very simple and "Lime an Black"!!!
For the top card I just swiped a lime ink pad over the card base to create this effect and then stamped on the sentiment and added the gems.
For the second card I masked off the center panel and inked with a sponge before stamping with my Tweed Pattern stamp in the same green. I then just added the Butterfly and gems. I have a confession to make the gems are there to cover a spot of green that got on the edge of the card, I think I like the sparkly touch .
I am also going to enter this in the Simon Says Blog "Birthday Challenge"
The sun has actually come out today and I am going for a long walk this afternoon, I am really looking forward to getting outside at last!! Have a good Sunday.

You stretched your creativity beautifully with these, Sally! Happy Sunday!
Sometimes blotches of ink lead to the nicest necessary repairs! Serendipity!
I love both your cards

These are both great! I LOVE lime :) The scribbly effect is really neat - and your masking is perfect. Enjoy the sunshine!!
I adore lime, so had to stop to see what you did today, Sally! I love them both, but especially the butterfly over the Tweed - great combination! Good luck!
Oooh! Love both of these, but my fav is the first! It's so cool with that giant scribble of color and the large sentiment really adds a punch as well :)
So bright and cheerful. I love the swoosh of color on the first card and the tweed background on the second. Enjoy your walk, Sally!
Wow that green is stunning! Gorgeous CAS cards!

The ink pad swipe is really effective!
