Less is More

I had a play today and used some new stash. I made this card with Less is More in mind. I used the colours of their header, made a stripe using inks and a new stamp from a set I bought in Prague. I used the resist ink technique. The Nestie label is stamp with a frond from the same stamp set. The name of  the set is in Czech with no translation! The flower is X - Cut and the leaf Memory Box. The tag is Lili of the Valley, a lovely surprise gift from my friend Vee.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Less is More - Header as Inspiration

Allsorts - In Bloom
