So this card is for the black and white plus a hint of colour of our choice for

Less Is More , I am so glad to be back to one of my fave blogs , just hope I don;t have to miss out on to many of the challenges as this year is going to be very mad for me with moving home and getting a puppy , plus helping look after my grandma and grandpa who both have bowel cancer so won't to spend lots of time with them.

Right best get on and say what I used to make my card
Crafter's companion - centura pearl snow white , embosser and folder that came with the machine.
My stash - black card and ribbon
Spellbinder - butterfly die.

mini with mulberry

I have done this card for the anything but a card theme over at
CC Monthly Challenge , and we had to use at least one CC item.

In case any of you are wondering why my picture is 1st this time its because silly Blogger won't allow my pics to be download via the lappy having to do it with a URL. Which is driving me nuts .

Ok so onto the items I used
Gift bag - Hobby craft
Pearls - my stash
Topper - mulberry wood everyday CD , centura pearl card , embosser - all from crofter's companion
Nearly forgot the embossing folder is the one that comes with the embosser sorry don;t know what its called.
