I hope you all had a good weekend and these horrible winds haven't done any damage to anyone.
I am very fortunate and have had a lovely weekend. On Saturday I went to Harrogate Papercrafts Show with friends Diane and Michell and had a great day. It was lovely to meet up again with Christine and Lisa and also to make some new acquaintances - Joan and Maureen.
DD came home on Saturday, just a short visit, and went back today, so although I was itching to 'play' with the new goodies, I was banned from crafting while she was here! After she left, the first thing I did was make a card! and decided I would be early with my Less Is More card.
The stamps and sentiment are from the same Inkylicious set and I have stamped the dandelion twice in DI Bundled Sage, I cut a nesti oval in a 6 x 6 card and used this as a mask and although the colours look completely different, the oval is sponged with the same ink! I added a sprinkling of Glamour Dust to the floating seed heads, didn't think it needed anything else - unusual for me! - think I might be getting there Mandy & Chrissy?
I am also entering this card in the following challenges:
Make It Monday - Always Anything Goes
Crafting When We Can - Anything Goes
One Stitch at a Time - Anything Goes
Dream Valley Challenge - Photo Inspiration
I would just like to say a huge 'HELLO' and THANK YOU to my new and 'old' followers and I will be round to visit you.
That's it for now, and I hope everyone stays safe in these dreadful winds tonight.

Gorgeous CAS card Avril, I admire anyone who makes a one layer creation, they may look easy but I know from experience that they are more than difficult, your form is spot on.
Saw it on MIM.
