Less is more - Three Squares


On the Less is more challenge blog this week the theme is three squares, easy you may think but not for me!
I have done this and now I've looked at it again I don't like the placement of the words, but I can easily do another and move them, I think they should be a bit higher.  The purple paper is a patterned one and this is why the shading is different on each square, again maybe I should have used a solid colour?

  1. I think that the joy of this challenge for us is that contributors are really thinking about what they are doing and always striving to get their work 'just right'.
    Having finished your card, you are now questioning what would have made it better. This is a perfect state of affairs and one that will lead you to being able to complete a card feeling satisfied that it is 'right'! You'll know when that happens!
    This card is lovely, but you can make it great!
    It gives me such a charge to see this happening. Thanks so much!

  2. Love your cut out squares, was it a punch? Your card is beautiful

  3. Well I think you've made a lovely card. However, I agree with you and think the sentiment could be placed higher as it's a little disjointed from the squares. Still like it though!

  4. Yes the card is lovely and I think the sentiment could have been a little higher but I still like it.

  5. I love the way the purple background color changes and the great punch you used. You're right about the sentiment. I would have centered it in the "square" space...but then I tend to line things up all the time! LOL!

  6. Hi
    I think your card is super, /I agree the placement of the sentiment could have gone higher, maybe in a single line?
    It may be worth making a little scrap with just the sentiment on, hold it in different place to see where you prefer
    Well done and thanks for all your hard work

  7. I like the way the colour changes behind the squares (similar to mine) and you can't go wrong with purple! :) As for the sentiment - I think it might be better slightly higher, or central - would love to see what it looks like!

  8. This is a lovely card. I love the punch you`ve used. As has been said already, I would have placed the sentiment in the 4th square space but then I`m a neat freak, sorry.

  9. I too like the way the colour changes Jenny. I think you have almost nailed it. I agree with you about the placing of the words.

  10. I like the subtle colour differences in the purple paper - have to agree with you about the sentiment - maybe a tad higher but overall this card with it's little pearl accents and it's lovely uniform shape tickes the boxes for me!

  11. Lovely. Sentiment I think would be better both higher and central to the other squares, like it's making up for the missing square. But listen to me talk, I got my sentiment in the wrong place too!!!!

  12. Lovely card. I like the variations in the patterned paper and yes I would also centre the sentiment in the blank space.

  13. Lovely card and love the different shadings of the papers. I agree with you that the sentiment should have been a bit higher, but it still looks good

  14. i haven't read comments so maybe this is a repeat, but, your words might have looked better if you'd pushed them a little bit to the right. Your card is very elegant and stylish, all the same!

  15. Love the colours and the patterned paper. As you've mentioned the sentiment could be in place of your fourth square but it's still a lovely card. x
