LESS IS MORE WEEK 76 ONE LAYER CHALLENGE

WOAH! OK, here we go with another CAS challenge, but this one is REALLY a challenge for me!    One piece of cardstock folded in half with no additional layers? Minimal embellishments? Image is stamped or printed directly onto the cardstock? YIKES!!!! Come on girls, you know this is going to kill me but here goes. This is the “official” challenge description:

“Three of anything that is, three colors, three images, three stamps, three words, the number three.... it's up to you, but don't forget the white space, a simple design and just one layer!”



I decided on three flowers and used Rubber Stamp Tapestry’s Pottery Garden stamp set to create  Crepe Myrtle blooms.  I punched the bottom border of the card with a Martha Stewart border punch and added some Liquid Pearls.





I know this is a “simple” card but boy was it hard to get the design right and REALLY hard to stop embellishing it. I hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks for stopping by!
