Here is my card for this week's less is more challenge where the theme is shades of blue - right up my street! I used my ink dusters and a set of stamps from Inkylicious called Flight of dreams. I used big and juicy waterfall for the 'dusting' and majestic blue versafine for the stamping. I love the effect with the ink dusters, and I will be practising more with them as soon as I get a bit more time.I'm also entering this into the Allsorts challenge this week where the theme is 'Free and easy'.
We had a beautiful day for our school summer fair yesterday, but when I got home I was shattered! I spent Friday evening baking cupcakes (forty five in 3 different flavours) and Saturday morning decorating them before selling them and lots of others on Saturday afternoon. It was a huge success and we raised lots of money for school. here is a photo after we'd sold a few.
Thanks for looking!

Your tall slim card is serene and elegant-looking - lovely job!
Love the tranquil scene you've created on this beautiful card Sally and I really like the DL shape too.
You are so good at baking cupcakes too - well done for helping to raise all that money for school. As for the greenhouse - how amazing is that! "Growing your own" is a great thing for children to get into - we (well hubby actually!)have an allotment and there's nothing quite like freshly picked veg.
