Less Is More - Gold

Afternoon all - how's your Saturday so far?  Weather wise we have been very lucky with sunshine most of the day but it looks as if the clouds are building up now.  Thankfully we have escaped the torrential rain this time.

It's been a bit of an up-and-down day - you guys know I do like my sports on wheels - the qualifying for the British Grand Prix was a disaster from my perspective, but that blow has been softened by the news that Bradley Wiggins is now the leading the Tour de France and taken the yellow jersey from Cancellara (sorry, Fabian, it had to happen).

Anyhoo, the LESS IS MORE challenge this week is a colour and it is gold, not yellow, although from my photo you'd begin to wonder.  I really do need to get myself a decent camera and soon!

Got myself nice and inky with the Distress Inks this afternoon.  Shape cut with an X-Cut die, and sponged in Scattered Straw, then edged in Tea Dye, and the corners darkened in Frayed Burlap.  The flower is from one set of Hero Arts stamps, the sentiment from another and they are stamped in Memento Peanut Brittle, the butterfly is a free one from Craft Stamper magazine and stamped in Memento Toffee Crunch.  I was going for the antique gold look with this rather than the bright and shiny.
