After being away from stamping for so long I couldn't resist taking part in this weeks Less is More 'WINTER BLUES' as it's always a challenge that inspires me due to the nature of its simplicity. I have to think hard to keep it simple and 'Less'.
The theme this week is being sponsored by Creatin' and Stampin's Lizy who is kindly offering a £15 Stampin Up gift certificate. (please see challenge link for more details).
I tried to capture both meanings of blues...blue colours and blue feelings. I used Tim Holtz's butterfly and a phrase from Art Journey.
Apologies once more re the quality of the photograph(its so dark here this morning) and lack of cropping. I'm a bit lost without my old set up which contains all my photo cropping tools and watermark etc. Hopefully it can be repaired soon. Hopefully you can get the gist of it.
Have a good weekend. x

I know January is a dark dismal month but really, this is daft!! I love your card, Jo - the blue is intense and gorgeous and you can't go wrong with Tim's butterfly... love the sentiment too. Have a good weekend.

Jo, this really caught my eye when I was checking out the other cards. The colours are amazing. I love how you have let the inks do their own thing.
Its overcast here today but hopefully will be sunshine again tomorrow.
Love Sheila x

This weather is so depressing isn't it? Fab design and love the drips running down the card.
What a great way to show not only the blue colours, but let a feeling come over just by the way you used the stamp and ink! Inky greetings, Gerrina
Fabulous inky background and great stamping! A really atmospheric card!

Love this CAS card, the blue spray ink looks fab dripping down. I love black and white images against colour, just like this one :)
Love your "blues" card, Jo. Great use of white space to set your sentiment apart from the image. I have that stamp so just might have to try this! ;-)
Your background is perfect for this wonderful butterfly image. Great sentiment too!
Love the simplicity & that is one of my favourite stamps.
Love this card Jo
