Simply Less is More # 153

Good morning all!
Happy monday to you. I hope you are all keeping well and not suffering too badly from the atrocious weather we`re having at the moment in both the UK and the States. We`ve been really lucky up here, just rain and a bit of wind.
Well...two weeks on the trot I`m here for a Simply Less is More challenge. I do hope I can keep it up, I`ve really missed my weekly CAS makes.

This week it`s colour challenge week and the title of the challenge is;

                                          WINTER BLUES

 Here is my entry,

I struggled a little bit trying to come up with something that wasn`t a Christmas card. My dad has a birthday coming up so this is ideal.
I finally decided on my old `go to` panel design.
After cutting the panel to size I cut out an aperture with a dekkle edge die from Caroles Crafts.
I masked the card base slightly larger than the aperture and used blending chalks in 3 shades of blue.
The leaf die is by Marrianne Designs cut out of Royal Blue pearlised card and stuck in place with foam pads, leaving some leaves overlapping the aperture.
The sentiment is PC generated.

Now that life is back to normal after the Christmas and New Year holidays, I`m looking forward to spending alot more time in the craft room. Don`t hold your breath though lol.

Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx
