Less is More Challenge- Off Centre


Here's my entry for this week's Less is More challenge. I have combined 2 things that I haven't yet used but have had for ages....
The first is a borrowed encaustic set. After many, many attempts at making something I would use on a card I salvaged only 1.
The other thing is a gorgeous stamp set from darkroom door. I love it's flowers and sentiments but haven't used it yet.

Thanks for all the lovely comments I received last week, I was amazed.
And yes, I am addicted, was on yesterday morning to see what the weekly challenge was.
