Time to chill ...

Good evening, I've spent most of the weekend gardening ... a never ending task ... but took time out this evening to create a card for this week's challenge at "Less is More".  The theme is 'Your Perfect Holiday' ... to be honest my needs are quite simple ... just time out to chill and relax!  So this is my card:



I created the card using a scrap of faux mother of pearl card and some alphabet dies ... not particularly inspiring but just what is needed.  I'm not saying that I would turn down a five star luxury hotel somewhere warm but right now the opportunity to take time out and relax anywhere is very appealing!  I've been on holiday from my paid work for the last four weeks and I feel as if I've worked harder during that time than when I am at work ... !!!

The details of the challenge are:

Enjoy!

  3. Hi Elaine,

    I love the simplicity of that card, it's adorable! And I can totally relate to you holiday needs. My summer holiday has been over for a week now, and I feel like I haven't had any at all...

    Hugs

  6. You may not think it's very inspiring but it's brilliantly executed in my eyes, all perfectly aligned and striking.

  7. What a fabulous and striking card. I have just started a 10-day break from work and plan to spend a lot of my time crafting. But I probably should try to spend a little time out of the house as well...
