We were unable to watch the Olympic Games opening ceremony on Friday as we had something else on so we had a little party at home last night and watched a recorded version. I absolutely loved it and now think that Danny Boyle is a genius. If you are into sport I wish you a wonderful couple of weeks indulging yourself.
This morning I slipped over to my craft desk to make a card for the LIM challenge which this week is to use the following sketch
I decided to make a Christmas card with a little bird who is not from a Christmas set, but the flowers on his body reminded me of poinsettias.
I gave him a party hat and some notes to have him sing a Christmas Carol! I'm still struggling with the LIM approach which is not to use lots of embellishments and leave lots of white space, but I hope practise will help.
I'm also entering this into the Cardcrafter's Circle challenge for a CAS card
Thanks for looking.
Hugs
