Less is More - one layer and leaves

A very quick Less Is More posting here as we are off to the races in a few minutes, I have yet to get changed and dry my hair and now my fingers are all inky!  The theme is a favourite of mine, leaves, and I have a longing to CASE some of Chrissie's cards, but for now I've used my No More Shims with a stencil I bought last year at the NEC and couldn't get to work.  The NMS makes it really easy!  I've sponged some ink on, added a Butterfly Kisses sentiment bought this year and coloured the berries.  Not much empty space here, may try half the wreath only but then will need a different sentiment...  bye for now

  1. I'm SO glad we got the No More Shims Anne, I also feel humbled that you would like to case my cards... I think we have similar tastes in stamps too!
    You've made me want to try to use the tree template I got at the NEC.
    Have a great day at the races!
    Thanks so much
