What A Winter!

Well... no LIM last week, but I'm making up for it this week as I managed a little mid week crafting which hasn't happened for quite a few weeks now...  Anyhow, when i was sorting out stash I found about a gazillion card blanks so decided that I would use a DL one for the first time in about 3 years!... There were once my favourite, but with promarkers taken over they did not always fit in with designs and sketches... when I found this stamp in the draw I knew it was perfect.... Ok so enough waffling... here it is....

OK... hopefully I'll be back tomorrow... more crafting to do I think....

Iris

Well I did get a little telling off yesterday for replacing the white with pink at Less is More and I should have probably done shades of pink so I thought I would have another crack at a fully Monotone card... this time with shades of purple.... Here is my very simple card....

The stamp is from Penny Black Allegro T for Transparent inked with Memento Grape Jelly, the ribbon from stash and I've added just a touch of Faerie Kisses Diamond Sparkles...

I'll be back tomorrow.....
