Less Is More

This is just a quick post, time just seems to be rushing by - again! and I am trying to finish some new curtains.  My Crafty Friend Diane, did a 'Hand Made Curtains Course' and she has shown me how to do them, lovely finish, but very time taking, but hopefully well worth the effort. I have been busy with them all afternoon, so felt I needed time off for 'good behavour' and managed to make this card is for the LIM challenge this week which is to use a bow or button.
 I have used a Crafts Too Embossing folder for the bottom half, embossed 2 lines - either side of the ribbon, although its not showing up in the pic. The flower image is coloured with ProMarkers and distressed with Tattered Rose Distress ink.

Thats it, and thanks for looking.
