Less is More #29...Things that Move...

Good afternoon all. Apologies for being MIA all week, I started with a sore throat on Sunday evening and by monday I had the worse head cold I`ve had in years. Really knocked me for six and my mojo caught it aswell. I feel much better today though, still a bit snotty ( sorry) but that`s all which is a good job as it`s Less is More day.
This week is a theme, things that move, which could be a moving part on a card or simply an image of something that moves. Sounds easy peasy ? yeah right!!!

I was very honoured to be showcased for the wk 27 challenge ` the colours of our nations flag` so I`ve a lot to live up to this week and going by the entries already submitted, the standard is very high. Here is what I`ve come up with today.

I used blending chalks and a piece of bathroom sponge to make the background strips. Four different shades of yellow to get the graduation and then stamped a Laura Ashley stylised flower in clear embossing ink and clear embossing powder to give a sort of watermark.
I cut the strips to size and placed using foam pads.
The butterfly is by Do Crafts stamped and heat embossed in black then coloured with promarkers. Only the body of the butterfly is stuckdown, the wings are lifted but look quite flat in the pic.
The sentiment is by Crafty Individuals stamped with versafine Onyx Black.





Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx
