A touch of turquoise

A touch of Turquoise
This is the challenge from Less is More this week!

This is just a scrap of card from some playing around with a new set of stamps from Visible Images. I didn't want to just ditch it so I die-cut a scrap and then mounted it together with a tiny butterfly. The oval is popped up on dimensional pads.

Here's a little emboss resist using some Stampin' Up daisies. I saw this image and really wanted it... I managed to find it on eBay in the States... it has been retired for some time and I don't even know if it was ever available in this country, but isn't it fab!
The sentiment is also from Stampin' Up.

This morning I shall be going to pick up my new car!
What excitement!
My last three cars have been Skodas, so I'm really excited about having a different make. I took this pic in the showroom when I bought the car on Monday! I think it's kinda funky!
I can't wait!
