Good afternoon lovely bloggers - hope you are all having a happy weekend. I have really missed you all and it's great to be back. I will get around to see what you have all been up to, as soon as I finish the ironing!
Just popping by with a card for this week's challenge at Less is More.
It's a one-layer card week, and Mandi and Chrissie are asking us to use HEARTS, which I absolutely love!

Update!! 19th October - my card made the Top 3 at Creative Inspirations
Recipe:-
I have used three shades of Versacolor inks (the small square ones) in Lapis Lazuli, Topaz and Cardinal, "direct to paper", shading each colour slightly from light to dark by using less or more pressure on the pad. Hence the rather random look!
After several failed attempts at measuring the spacing of the inking, I decided to go for it "by eye" - wish I had done that to begin with!
The tiny heart is from the French Mail clear stamp set by Crafty Secrets.
Sentiment is from Hot off the Press.
I would also like to enter my card into the Creative Inspirations Challenge - A Single Layer Card.

Just thought I would share this holiday pic. with you - the life-size dress form was standing outside a gift shop and I couldn't resist taking a photo of it. It was covered with fabric flowers and looked so pretty - very fashionable in the crafting world at the moment - thought you might like it!

Hi Sylvia, a smashing card & a great design. I love how you've graduated the blocks of colours. You're like me taking photos of unusual things, it's a great dress form.

Had to chuckle at the "by eye" bit Sylvia, I still think that's by far the easiest, despite all these wonderful tools!!!!!
I love how you've shaded the colours. It's a beautiful card.
Glad you got your ironing done, it's certainly been the weather hasn't it, no better today!!
Love the flower dress.
See you soon.
