I think it's still morning - I've been awake since the early hours so it feels like it should be well into the afternoon. Two lots of washing done and out to dry, house tidy and my Less is More challenge entry is all ready to upload. Not a bad mornings work there.
As it's the first LIM challenge of the month, it's COLOUR, and the girls have chosen ...
BLUE and GREEN
There is an old saying ..... Blue and Green should never be seen, Unless there's a colour in between!
Rubbish! I like blue and green together although they're not colours that I tend to use a lot of, especially green. Hmm ...... not sure why that is though. Anyway, I've used them today and here's the result
I used Tumbled Glass and Peeled Paint Distress Inks around the edges and then coloured the image with Distress Markers in the same colours.
The stamp is called day-dreams and is from Penny Black (3947K) and the little sentiment is from a clear set by Kaisercraft that was one of my bargain purchases at a craft show.
I'm really pleased with the result, a nice CAS card for any occasion. Maybe I'll use blue and green more often.
I'm off to watch the girls from Stamp Addicts, they're on Create and Craft with some new Christmas stamps. They've got Nigel as the presenter so it should be a good one.
I think I'm going to tackle the ironing pile while I'm watching. I got it out last night and wasn't sure whether to climb the thing or iron it! It's huge ........ I'm afraid it's been the last thing on the list, I've had other things to do. I'm running out of things to wear now, so I really need to make a start. Wish me luck.
I'd rather be in the old craft room.
Have a lovely day and I'll see you all later.
Thanks for popping by

Gorgeous card and I love that sentiment.xx
Beautiful LIM creation, great flower image ! I always love green & blue together, one of my fav colour combos :) Shirleyx
Hi Linda, it is a gorgeous card! Although I am not a green lover, Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters float my boat, I adore them and the colours on your card mix together so well. Yes, it is ironing here too, it is hot, but with visitors this weekend it must be done - maybe there is not quite as much as you have - lots of luck with yours. Anne x
Great card. Best of luck with the ironing!

Lovely card, very pretty flower image. Jean x
Beautiful image and beautifully coloured. Like you (and my cousin) I've also got curly hair. Hated it as a teenager - spend hours trying to straighten it only for it to spring back and do its own thing - learned to love it now - wash and go!
Love your gorgeous card.
luv
