One layer......

Not the easiest to do ...strange but true, I always struggle a little to not add a bit more!  And I'm sure I'm not alone.......

And the new challenge from LiM is to include a stem and they are also looking for new Design Team members -exciting, I would love to apply but unfotunately with all the lovely ladies who will apply I dont honestly think I would get through, but mainly I can't always do every week so the commitment needed would be unsustainable.....aaah well. Good  luck to all those who do apply x

I love flower stamps, cards, fresh flowers etc, so was able to easily include a stem or three of flowers and buds by mixing up a few stamps..

Some masking was used for each stamp added and my new platinum embossing powder which is more of a pale and beautifully subtle gold rather than silver.

I fully intended to colour the images in soft peachy colours and subtle shades of green, but once embossed and the  sentiment added I decided to leave well alone and just added a few gold sequins in different sizes in order to show off the embossing in all its glory - Less is sometimes More haha....a little difficult to photograph and show the beautiful platinum colour.......A Simple but hopefully effective card.........I hope you'll agree.

  7. Your card is pure elegance! I have the opposite problem, every time I try and add something to my card, I take two things away lol.
