Hello bloggers,
Thanks for all the love you have been leaving me for my blogoversary. I cannot believe that my little blog is one year old!!!
Hope you all are happy and feeling your best...
The girls and I have been down with a flu' and to top it all one of our gold fish died - she just jumped out of the fish bowl and committed suicide! I discovered its' absence in the middle of the night when I went to eat a midnight snack and it sure did break my heart. I kept staring into the bowl thinking it would magically appear from somewhere. But it didn't and I went to bed a trifle sad. Next morning, Zeenya found the dead fish lying on the floor by the side cabinet.
Anyway, one has to move on, right, so what I did was to buy another fish immediately to tide over the loss. People go through much more in life so this is just miniscule, I guess.
That was enough waffle there...
Now to this card - I have been tempted many a time to participate in Less is More but somehow could not get down to it. However this time, I made a serious effort because the challenge was 'white on white'.
I have used my new embossing folder which I bought over the net alongwith some more crafting goodies. The sentiment has also been embossed as you can see.
I have made the flowers with my Ek Success scallop punch - it was easy peasy for a change. I just sprayed some water on the punched shape, crumpled it up and shaped it with a quilling tool. The one in the centre has two punched scalloped flowers while the ones on the sides have a single flower. I finished off the flowers with flat pearls in the centre.
Hope you like my card. Would love it if you leave me a comment.
Hugs,
Monica

Hi Monica.Thank you for all the lovely stuff you have written at my blog today.Our goldfish also committed suicide once. 2 of them did it and then hubby got a fish tank with a roof. It seems its a behavioral problem with fish.
Love and Cheers from Bangalore
