I'm in Lurve!!!

Afternoon everyone.  Aww I been playing with the new stash I posted yesterday.  As soon as I saw Penny Black's new "Dashing through the Snow" stamp I HAD TO HAVE IT!!!!  After staring lovingly at it on its arrival I opted to go for a very simple card to show it off in all its glory.  I opted to follow the Less is More Challenge with this as I've been wanting to join in for ages, now I'm back into blogging again, I'll be playing along with them more often.

Sorry the pics abit dark, my craft table looks like a bombs gone off on it and I've nowhere else to put up my little light studio!!  I know I'm cutting it fine joining in with the Limettes, I also want to play along with the following...

Less is More - 3,2,1 (3 gems - 2 on parcels, 1 on top of tree)

Two More Cards

I'm back with a couple more challenges.  It is lovely making cards and sticking em straight on me blog rather that storing em for DT's - I always fret that I'm gonna click "publish" on the wrong card lol!

My first card is for the following challenges

The Pink Elephant - Nature (rain)

Sophisticats - Raining Cats and Dogs

The Corrosive Challenge - Sketch

I used glamour dust for the rain and along the ground I used touches of stickles.  I'd not used this before but I do love the effect.  Reckon this'll be appearing on a few more of me cards!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

My next card is for the following challenges;

Friday Sketchers - Sketch

Penny Black - Check it Out

Magical Crafts - Animal Antics

Thanks for stopping by!  Feel free to leave a comment so I know you've been and can return the favour.  Enjoy the rest of your day and happy crafting.

Take care
