I have to admit that they have that driving force that keeps me thinking, hum, how can I do this, or, will it work if I do it this way???
This card was a real challenge.. I had to make a card with one layer and one embellishment.
That is the first challenge over at a new forum, Lady Anne’s Paper Crafts.
Was it hard, let me think... yeeeeeeeeeeeees, I love layers and adding embellies. Then I had an idea and of course I thought it was brilliant, only to find out that it did not work, back to thinking and then it came to me: Keep it simple!
I hope you like it:
For this project I used the following {ippity} stamp sets: Bloom and Simplify and Now and Always. Colored the flower with Distress Markers and used Distress Ink around the card, feel it adds some depth.
For the final touch I added by the bow.
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
- Lady Anne’s Paper Crafts - Challenge #1
- Make It Monday - Anything Goes
- Paper Playtime - Anything Goes
