Hi there lovely bloggers - hope the week has started well for you.
*****
Before I post my card for this week's LESS IS MORE CHALLENGE, for anyone visiting Harrogate, (in Yorkshire) a new branch of Samuel Taylors opened 8 weeks ago on Commercial Street. I found it quite by accident on Saturday, as it's a street I don't often go down - but of course I will now! Maybe I'm the only person in the area who didn't know about it, but I thought someone out there might welcome the news!!
**********
OK - down to business - the Lovely Mandi and Chrissie have asked all Limettes out there to use BLING on their cards this week - yaaay how could anyone resist !
So peeps - when I popped into Samuel Taylors in Harrogate on Saturday (ha-ha)! I just couldn't resist buying this fabulous Indigo Blu stamp - she is called "Rebecca - Snow Queen".
Ink used - Ranger Archival Jet Black.
Soft touch of Weathered Wood Distress Ink on the background applied with Cut 'n Dry foam.
Sentiment - Anna Griffin
Pale pink and blue gems from stash (they are much more sparkly in real life)!
Cardstock from Stampin' Up.

I would also like to enter the following challenges:-
Glitter Fairies - "Non-Traditional Christmas"
Craft Your Passion - "Tis The Season"
Dream Valley - "Sparkle".
Stamptacular Sunday - "Anything Christmas" (with a stamp).

Now who could resist this fabulous stamp Sylvia, I know I couldn´t either. I love what you have done with her but bet she wasn´t easy to stamp! The gems are a beautiful accent and the sentiment stamp is gorgeous.

this is beautiful, bling & cas, I love it!
Hiya Sylvia, That's gorgeous, I love her flowing hair and this fits the LIM mandate beautifully, bling!!!! Harrogate's a bit far for me but good news for you lovely Northern ladies, have fun:0) Hugs Gay xxx
This is beautiful! So effective in the black & white. I have this stamp but not used it yet, but you've definitely motivated me with this gorgeous card. Maria x
Well, it's a wonder I didn't bump into you in there, Sylvia. I was in with DD too. She bought some Polkadoodles stamps but I was very good and resisted temptation although I did go back to these Indigo blu stamps several times, I love them and after seeing your gorgeous card, that resistence is weakening even more.....
Hope all is good with you.
Hugs Lisax
What a beauty Sylvia, such a classy card, love it.

Super card Sylvia that stamp is just Devine! It's so hard to try and photograph sparkle on your cards and my only experience with LIM was really difficult to photograph full stop! You have done a great job
I'm hoping when I go to stay with Lisa she will take me to Samuel Taylor as I've never been
