A touch of red for Less is More and some other challenges

Hi everybody

Another beautiful clear blue sky, and a card from me.

I haven't entered Less is More for a while, and decided that as I had nothing planned this morning, I would make a card.  How unusual is that you might say!  Well at the moment I am also working on a lot of stuff to sell, as i have decided to take a stall at our village fete, which is quite a big affair, and I need to make sure I have stuff other than cards, so my kitchen table has been taken over as a painting station for a lot of stuff as well!!

My lovely spring-like tulips are from Fred She Said.  I have coloured with Copics, and the green frame is a piece of card recycled from a pack of Prisma Flowers, and tones beautifully with the leaves.

I am entering this for the following challenges:

Allsorts - blooming blossoms
Less Is More - a touch of red
Paper Sundaes - spring blossoms
The Rubber Cafe - spring flowers

I really appreciate it that you take the time to look at my blog and leave such lovely comments. Thank you each and every one of you.

A vision of loveliness in pink, pearls, lace and ribbon!

.... Or she might be if she did not have such a scowl on her face!  But a really fun image from Lili of the Valley.

This is the first crafting I have done, since I had a fabby day with my friend Anne, when we started on a canvas project and Anne taught me a few inky things and how to put a stamped image on to a candle (no - I've never done it before).  I have a gastroenteritis bug - but we don't know whether it is that or food poisoning - I am still waiting for my test results.  I was being so ill  Monday night/Tuesday morning that my dear OH called the doctor.  I have been living on toast and occasional bowls of soup.

So on to my card.  I have used the lovely LOTV image It's my Party, which I have coloured in Copics.   I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday.  My papers are Crate Paper Restoration, I have added lace, which has ribbon threaded throught it,  and pearls from stash, and flowers from WOC.  The sentiment is Stampin' Up.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Phindy's Place - Lace and Pearls

The Rubber Cafe - Sparkle and Glitter

Cooking it up with Katie - Sketch me a textured punch
