WEEK 86 - TAKE 3 at LESS IS MORE!

Hello lovely friends and bloggers - this is just a quick post today, with a card for LESS IS MORE.
The theme this week is TAKE 3 CHALLENGES.   My 3 choices are - 
Tearing - week 81, Shades of Blue - week 22, Diecuts or Punches - week 55.
Somehow, I also manage to include Embossing - week 15 and A Touch of Red - week 9 !


Recipe:-
White cardstock
One of the stamps from the fabulous Stampin' Up Ornament Keepsake set, embossed with clear powder then cut out with the matching die.
Three  SU ink pads - Night of Navy, Marina Mist and Brocade Blue
Sentiment from the SU Beautiful Season stamp set
Tiny red gems.
*******
I don't suppose anyone missed me last week, (awwww), but I managed to find some hot sunshine whilst I was AWOL - any guesses where?!!!!!!!

This photo was taken inside the huge Church of Santa Maria Maggiore -
the beauty of it just takes your breath away.


And this should give you a clue - yes, I was in Rome!


Love to all ~

Big hugs
