I must apologise for not posting anything up here for such a long time. What with the building going on in the house installing the kitchen and refurbishing the ensuite, the house has been in such a state that I couldn't find much of my stash or get a space in which to craft. I'm still battling the dust but at least the kitchen and ensuite are completely finished now and I'm really pleased with how they've turned out.
I'm pleased to say that my health is now very much improved and in fact I saw my surgeon last tuesday and he is happy with my progress and doesn't need to see me again - Hurrah ! I do feel so much better now and am working on increasing my stamina and getting back to normal.
The other reason I haven't been blogging lately is that my Mojo had just totally disappeared - didn't have a single design in my head for a project, nada, zilch ! It felt like I might never craft again as I didn't know where to start, but I decided yesterday to sit down and make something, no matter how it turned out, even if it was only good for the bin at the end of it !
It's a while since I made an entry for the Less is More Challenge so I decided to check out this week's theme and use this for my first project in ages. We've to use script on our projects this week and make a one layer card.
I received some money for my birthday recently and was wondering what to spend it on, so I got myself some pastels to play with. I created a background using pastels and a TCW butterfly design mask. I then used a couple of stamps from the Papermania Botanical Print set, one of which included some script in the design and the other was this pretty little butterfly. Both were stamped with Rich Cocoa Memento ink straight over the pastel background. I then hand doodled a frame around the main image with a brown marker pen.
Clean and Simple and I hope it fits into this week's LIM challenge OK.
Thanks so much for dropping by today, now I've started crafting again, I hope I'll have more to share with you over the coming days.
