Black Rose card

Hi there friends, just popping in with another card for the 'Less is More' challenge again. This time it's a sketch, looks easy but I was fresh out of ideas this time. Luckily this simple idea jumped in my head after a lot of time just looking at stamps etc.

I just stamped my image then die cut  it into 4 pieces then added the sentiment...and job done!

It's warmer here today and we are enjoying a bit of sun again,....enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned, we are swimming again ;)

ps. Sharing a few pics of some of the food I made for our recent family party below. The choc, raspberry, strawberry pavlova went down very well....too well infact everyone had 2 helping and was stuffed lol!

 Ahem and yes I did throw all sorts of chocolate on top lol.....well our daughter said yes just go for it when I asked her about which chocolate to add. Also a mahoosive flan ...12" (new recipe and new quiche tin.....liking it too) oh and a coffee cake for our son's birthday.

Sorry if this has left you feeling hungry now too ;)

With Love card

Hi there!, very Spring like weather here today, ( well sunny but still a tad chilly yet), ................I hope you all have sun too.     Here is another 'Less is More' card I made yesterday. Trying a bit of stencilling for a  change.         It has to be a 'one layer card' and the theme is...       LOVE      My OH made some Gesso recently so I pinched a bit and mixed some pearlescent  pink paint with it. Here is the result ;)       I die cut the sentiment, used some M/E Blush ink and stuck it back in the card. The colour does match the Rose, not  here though grrr.       Anyway come and have a closer look...........
