clean and simple

Hello and Happy New Year.

 My resolution is to blog more often and to loose the Christmas pounds..... and not the ones I will be spending on crafty stash.

A clean and simple card today sadly for our dear uncle's family who left us on Christmas eve.

God bless xx

The card blank is 8"x 4" from a goody bag from Craftwork Cards.

Stamps used 'Insignia' from Basicgrey and the sentiment is from

Stampendous clear set 'Sincere Sentiments' with Archival ink jet black

I added a couple of Swarovski crystals, for the splash of colour.

This is a little out of my comfort zone not my usual make but I do like it, 

and very quick to do once I had the design sorted.

The challenge over at Less is More  is ~ black and white and a splash of colour

Pile it on challenge ~ as above

Thanks for stopping by
