Less is More Week 11 Acetate, oh! and me!

I have decided to enter a challenge! Not another one!
that must be about 3 this year!!, yes I am a bit slow at the challenges but I am definately going to make an effort this year, however, I'm not really impressed with my effort but I will give it a whirl anyway.
I am entering into the Less is More Acetate challenge as I really like LIM cards.

I punched out 3 flowers with acetate and ran over them with my embossing tool towards teh tip of the flower to give shape and the whiteness, I would have preferred a larger flower but I dont have a big enough punch and would have also liked a white sentiment , but didn't have anything to do that with either, so I have used a swirly peel off and a lush brad for the centre of the flower, a wee bit white ribbon and that was me , think its a wee bit too plain but it was a first attempt with acetate for something other than for 3d glass effect!
Wee close up of the flower from the side.
Also finally got a picture of me on my blog , at long last , and I dont resemble a plum at all!! I don't think I do anyway! My son took the picture for me , he's a clever wee boy!

Thanks for looking and any comments you leave a very much appreciated , now I must go off to bed!...K xx

Karen that's the whole idea of clean and simple they look plain but I know what you mean I find it hard to stop with the embellies too your flower is lovely and so is the card you would think though wouldn't you that they would be easier to make as there is less on them but not so lol I still haven't done mine for this weeks must get it done soon
