One Layer Card

Over at Less Is More this week the challenge is to make a One Layer Card with flowers or trees. This is my second attempt at a One Layer Card and my first one I don't think was great so I was a bit dubious about how it would turn out. Well it turned out better than my first one so I'll definately be trying some more and practice makes perfect!

The photo isn't the best I'm afraid. I used a charcoal grey pearlescent card as I wanted to try my Prismas on dark card plus I used this card for my wedding invites and have loads left over so a good opportunity to use it up. The stamp is one I picked up in a bargain bin at the Artstamps Show in Edinburgh last year. I'm sure it was only about a £1 so a good bargain! I stamped the image in white and coloured the flowers with Prismas. The Happy Birthday stamp is one I also picked up at a craft show somewhere again stamped in white. I added some green shimmer dots from Papermania down the side although I'm not sure if I could maybe have got away with not adding them.

I'd like to enter the above card in the following challenge:

Less Is More

I just heard last week about a new challenge blog called Less Is More and had to have a go! Best wishes to Chrissie and Mandi with what I'm sure will be a very popular blog. I look forward to entering many future challenges.  The theme for the first challenge is to use the colours Pink, Black and White. Perfect for a Valentines card for my hubby!!

I used some pink striped paper from a Disney pack I had. The black and pink stitched ribbon is from my stash but I think it was wrapped round a pair of pyjamas originally!! The sentiment is printed in Edwardian Script and matted on black and pink card. The heart is cut from a lovely Tim Holtz die set called Heart Wings from the Bigz Dies range. I added some fine pink glitter in stripes to match in with the paper. 

I would like to enter the above card in the following challenge:
