Today has been a stormy wet day. It was quite scary walking home from work, I felt I was going to take off a few times.

I had a lovely surprise awaiting me on the I Love Promarkers blog. I managed to make the top 3, thank you  for choosing me. I can now display this badge on  my blog. 

Now my card, which you may have guessed is for Less is More.

I have missed a couple of weeks due to a very heavy work load and I think I was having withdrawal symptoms.

I used Nesties and a Lavinia stamp, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Stickles and a few pearls. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Less is More - green

Cute card Thursday - Anything goes

Crafty Creations - card with a sentiment

Another of Ruth's images, nice and simple. I decoupaged the ornaments and added a little Stickles to the branch. The paper is Craft Creations and the colouring is Promarkers. The area around the image is chalked in a pale cream and a few doodled dots around the image. 

Find Ruth's images here.
