Less is More wk 26 Lucky dip.

Good afternoon all!
I hope I find you well and enjoying a glorious weekend.

It`s wk 26 over at Less is More which means it`s a half year anniversary. I can`t believe we`ve been submitting for a whole 6 months. So, Happy Anniversary Mandi and Chrissie and long may you continue.
It`s lucky dip week too and we have been asked to make a CAS card using something fruity or with fruity colours. I have really struggled and almost didn`t join in this week. I have no fruit stamps or digi`s and I couldn`t come up with much from the various CD`s I have. I also have a rubbish printer so what I have come up with isn`t the best it could be. But, I didn`t want to break my run of not missing a week,so, while my entry might not win any prizes at least I`ve joined in.
Here is my card,
Just isn`t my day today, not only is the card pretty pants but the photo is too.
The image is downloaded from a Microsoft Greetings CD cut out with a nestie rectangle and raised on foam pads.
The sentiment is computer generated and is the best I could think of.


I think I`m going to admit defeat this week and hope for a better challenge next week lol.

Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx

    Oh Lynne, I think this is brilliant, it really caught my eye, didn't think it was from you as not your usual style, but a fab card.

    I don't have a lot of choice of stamps this week either and I think all the punny sentiments have been done too :)

    You REALLY are hard on yourself sometimes aren't you!!!! It's flipping brilliant - the sentiment is ingenius and would make fabulous anniversary cards - I always like something a little quirky rather than over the top hearts and flowers and this is PERFECT!

    Well, it's definitely eye-catching in the thumbnails!! Who'd have thought an apple core would have worked...but paired with that sentiment it's perfect! Great colouring! You're definitely being hard on yourself :-) I love it!

    This is definitely not a defeat Lynne. I think the apple looks good slightly muted like that; and your sentiment is PERFECT!!
    Wonderful CAS card Lynne and as always, it has the wow factor.
