Welcome - thanks for calling in, I so appreciate your visits.
Today I am sharing a card that was inspired by the challenge over at Less is More to use their logo as inspiration, and this is the result.

This card came together quite quickly as I had already planned it in my head.... that does not always happen.
This image was stamped using a Kaleidacolor ink pad, and one other.
The sentiment was stamped using the 'extra' ink colour I had added to the base of the image.
The butterfly was painted with the colours from the kaleidacolor ink pad after I had gold embossed it, and mounted on a dimensional foam dot.
The pearls were the final embellishment, used primarily to add emphasis to the sentiment and balance to the whole.

Thanks for visiting - may your day be blessed
