A flower for Less is More ....

In the interests of trying to restrain myself from covering everything with lush flowers, I am continuing my efforts of entering Less is More.  It is now week 2, and  this week is the challenge is a  ONE LAYER CARD  with the theme of a flower or three.  I cannot remember when I last did a one layer card.  Anyway I wasted all Thursday afternoon trying to get a decent image from a fabby  Personal Impressions stamp which is like a dandelion blowing in the wind.  I have had this sometime and not inked it up before.  Well I failed miserably - whatever ink or cardstock I used. 

So this is my entry, and I have added a score line down the side and across the bottom to frame the image.







I am entering this for the following challenge:

CCEE Stampers - use scoring


I really appreciate it that you take the time to look at my blog and leave such lovely comments. Thank you each and every one of you.

  1. Val, these are great. It's a really lovely image and you have coloured them beautifully. I hope they make up for the frustration with the other stamp!
