With love monochrome card

Good morning everyone, yet another beautiful sunny day
here again, hope you have the sun wherever you are too.
I have a monochrome card to show you today, I just fancied
making a black and white card. As luck would have it the card
also fitted the bill for this week's 'Less is More' challenge also
 which was a THEME  this time and we have to use an
 OVAL
As so often happens I had already made this card before I saw the
 challenge.........spooky or what ?? Anyway here it is, hope you like it.
ps. So happy I have finished all the scrubbing of tiled floors,
washing wooden ones, bleaching everything in site.Have to do that
before my RA starts  again for the winter as I am limited what I 
can do then. The house looks sooooo clean, and we have got rid of so
 much 'stuff' now too. My next job is to replant all the tubs for winter
 outside, then finish sorting my craft room over winter. No rush
 for the craft room now though, at least it's tidy and clean . We 
are having our new woodburning stove fitted on Thurs too.....
so excited about that ! Our gas boiler is nicknamed Billy so we 
are calling the new woodburner Woody.......ahem...yes we are mad.
