Hello there!
I have been very lazy and not added to my blog for quite some time! I resolve to try harder!
I had my creative juices prodded by this weeks challenge at 'Less is More' .
Here is the brief:

Week 91 Sketch 7

We haven't had many sketches since beginning "Less is More". It's difficult to think of original designs which can be interpreted in a variety of ways, yet keeping to the Clean and Simple ethos.
We have one for you this week which consists of  band down the card which in turn is sub-divided into three sections. 
You may add a sentiment if you wish and the sketch can be rotated if that orientation inspires you.
We must be able to spot the original, simple sketch however.
And here is my card!:
I have to admit my home looked like a bombsite after making this card!I couldn't stop experimenting with new things !So I embossed,the shades of card with hearts and then picked out lettering with an embossing pen and heat embossed with WOW vanilla white. I used the same powder to emboss the scrolls,and tried my new posca pen to make stitches!
Lastly a happy birthday sentiment embossed in Bark WOW powder on corresponding card tones.
Great fun!
Whilst I was in the mood I made this photo frame!The butterfly is made from grunge paper..my new toy.

So that is it for today!
With Love and light x
