Eureka

I was about to throw in the towel and not participate in my favourite LIM challenge this week. The challenge is neutrals and I really struggled. However just like Archimedes who discovered displacement after a visit to the smallest room in the house - I got my inspiration from the trim tiles in my bathroom.


I was overjoyed to have found this inspiration and unlike Archimedes resisted the temptation to run through the streets of my town naked to proclaim my triumph.


I've used pearlescent, kraft and silver card throughout and added a metal birthday tag. I'm not sure if I like the result - it would maybe do a male birthday card - but at least I get my weekly LIM fix as a result.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

    It's fabulous Kimberley... it's strange where we gain inspiration from at times isn't it!
    Thank you so much

    I think it's brilliant Kimberley - who would've guessed a visit to the bathroom could be so inspiring? Glad you resisted the urge to run through the streets naked however! Vicky x
