Less is More N° 143

I haven't been crafting for a while: busy days and lack of crafting mo-jo have taken their toll. I'm not really sure I've got it back - I really haven't felt at all inspired. I've tried various designs, but nothing has made me go Yay! For the last couple of LiM challenges I've not really had any equipment that I could use either...and I received a tree stamp for my birthday just too late to use it for last week's challenge!

Still, the LiM Challenge this week is "twine or string". I have that in spades. So here is effort number 1:

My blog site is being snippy about editing photos - whenever I try to rotate them a big black block takes over...so I photographed the full card landscape - which means you can't see it very well. Sorry!

I used a couple of stamps that were a free set a couple of years back. The card stock was reduced from Noz, and the bakers' twine was from Casa. It was a bloomin' sight cheaper there than in craft shops, I have to say! The button is a replacement button that came with a cardigan I bought from Primark in the summer - let's hope I don't lose one from the cardigan now!!

I'm going to give this card to a friend whose birthday is tomorrow. She made the bridesmaids' dresses and wedding dress for her daughter's wedding in the summer, so this seems appropriate!!
