A very simple card from me today using a little banner punch in a rainbow of coloured card. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.
I just also want to thank you all for you support... I'm not completely back on my crafting feet so you will probably have to bear with me for a few more weeks yet but I hope I can find my mojo again very soon!!
Don't forget to check out my blog to see if you won my January Candy too!!!!

For this card I die cut the butterfly shape from scrap card and used it as a template to sponge on the rainbow colours using sponge daubers. I then popped the complementary die cut butterfly into the gap and daubed black ink through that onto the butterfly.
Lots of paper piercing around the image and the edges of the card framed it before it was popped onto a black card base. The sentiments are from Katzelkrafts.
We hope that you will enjoy this week and visit lots of other participants to spread a little joy!
Mandi
Many of you may not remember or even know me, but, it was Chrissie and I that originally started LIM THREE years ago...GOSH! I had to step down October 2012 as I bought a wedding hire company. We are doing pretty well, my stationery is going fabulously, it's pretty much non stop at times! So no time for general creating or LIM, sadly. I am lucky enough to have made a wonderful friend in Chrissie whom I value greatly.
Thank you as always to Jen for stepping in and assisting Chrissie to take LIM even further. Also to the wonderful sponsors and Guest Designers.
Chrissie mentioned to me about making a card and there is is above! Really fast, but, I can use it for a bride marrying shortly who is having a rainbow of sashes on her chairs, it should look really pretty. Excuse the photo, not too sure what's happened to the colour!
When Chrissie asked me, I had literally the day before made these place cards.....
Before I go I wanted to say I still miss you all very much and to show you a few pics form my shop.
It has changed somewhat!

Bye for now, happy crafting and happy birthday 'us'
