Spring Colours Meet Autumn Leaves

Firstly, a big thank you for all your well wishes after my operation.  I have been starting to feel a bit better over the past two days so I'm hopeful that I've turned the metaphorical corner and am on the mend.

It's Lucky Dip week at Less is More and Chrissie and Mandi have chosen a fabulous colour palette from Design Seeds to inspire us!  I must admit I can be a bit narrow when left to my own colour devices and I tend to neglect lovely pastel shades so it was nice to play with these.

I was inspired by a rainbow colours card by Lousette Ashton in March's Craft Stamper where she created a spectrum.  It looks like this technique will work with most colour combinations.  I also wanted to try to come up with another use for my postage stamp punch.

Here's what I made:

I punched some squares out of card scraps and layered them up on dimensionals, tying some linen thread across the bottom square.  The spray of rushes was all stamped on scrap Confetti Cream card and fussy cut out, again tied with linen thread and glued into place.  The sentiment was divided up onto two lines using my Stamp-a-ma-jig.  Here are a couple of other views:

Socks is being very naughty today, jumping up on the table and trying to get my attention any way he can.  He reminds me a lot of Simon's Cat of video fame, especially in this clip:
