Hello friends - I have been busy trying to clean my desk - but it has become a matter of 'faux' cleaning - you know what that is don't you - where we start off with every good intention of cleaning, but then get distracted by what is on there and end up 'faux'cleaning' - cleaning by using up the things lying around - LOL - still cleaning though - right!! Wink:wink
I have used a leftover piece of patterned paper that was just too 'happy' to throw out - this has been paired with some handmade patterned card stock and cut/embossed using Spellbinders A2 Modern Stationery Card Creator Die. Co-ordinating patterned paper has been cut into strips and added - as shown above.
For the background paper I have stamped using images from Seth Apters Faded Fragments Stamp set and added some splatters and white paint.
The embossed image is from my stash and has been sponged using Imagine Radiant Neon Inks and popped up onto the card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares. The computer is computer generated and has also been popped up using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.
Quick and easy and leaves my desk just a little bit clear - but only just!!

Yep, if you've used something off your desk it is no longer there and therefore you've been cleaning. Love this, it is so bright and cheerful
