The rain has finally stopped and the sun is shining so am off to take advantage of the dry weather - quick post for this week's Less Is More challenge which is Black,White and a touch of another colour.I may have overdone the 'other colour' so will no doubt have to sit on the naughty step but the card didn't look right without something to define the two colour areas and highlight the flower - the pink seemed to make the flower stand out more.
So grossgrain ribbon it was - added to black cardstock clear embossed with a paisley pattern, the flower is from Personal Impressions and I used Spun Sugar DI.
Popped a pearl in the middle - wanted a black one really but couldn't find one big enough in the stash and didn't have time to colour this one.. may remove it later and put some liquid pearls in the centre instead?
Hope you too are all looking out onto blue skies and will catch up with you all later. x

Hi Viv! Oooer, I love this card so much. The vibrant pink with the black and white are perfect soulmates.
Laughed here about the LIM naughty step, I've been there for having a branch hanging in mid-air and not 'grounded' in some way :) I learned from that but I can't see that this isn't LIM.
Good luck and if you get sent to the naughty step let me know and I'll send some snippets playmates over to keep you company :))
Hugs, Di xx
