Another card for the ' Less is More' challenge ( week 3)
I was awake most of the night again, Rh Arthritis is at
it's worst this month for me. The rain really sets it off and I have a
lot of pain everywhere, can't take any medication after 30 years of having it
due to stomach issues blah blah blah.Anyway I thought I might have
another bash at the 'Less is More' challenge again so here is my second effort.
Made this at 5.30 am feeling like a zombie lol................anyway quite pleased
with how this one turned out.

'Less is more' challenge week 3
Week 3 of the 'Less is More'
challenge. Really struggled this week,
I am taking my time more doing these
cards are they are not easy. The content
and placement takes ages to get right. I
ummed and ahhhed whether or not to add
a yellow ribbon along the top. I decided it was
just too much in the end and this is now my
finished card. I messed with the wording quite
a bit and like that bit now, I glittered the flowers
too although you can't see that so well.
Hmmmm I may make another card !!!!!!!!!
