LIME GREEN AND BLACK !

Hi there lovely bloggers, friends and followers - thank you for popping by, and a warm welcome to my new followers - Nessa, Wendy and Estelle.
********
Chrissie and Jen have chosen a fab. colour combination for us to work with this week at Less is More ..........

LIME GREEN AND BLACK




Recipe:-
Black base card.
White card layer.
Peeled Paint and Crushed Olive Distress Inks applied with
a Tim Holtz Inkssentials Ink Blending Tool .
(No mention of "lime" on those ink pads, but I hope the result
looks sufficiently limey)?!
SU die - Sizzlits Little Leaves.
SU punch - Elegant Butterfly.
Sentiment - hAnglar and stAnglar - part of a Christmas stamp set bought a couple of years ago, and this is the first time the sentiment has seen ink!

I would also like to enter the Hobbycutz CAS (or Sketch) challenge
and the Card Mania challenge - dies and/or punches.
Update! my card was included in the Top 3 at Hobbycutz - thank you
to the DT girls!

*******
Have a warm and happy week everyone - 
Hugs,
