One layer with a flourish ....

.... Hi again - I'm popping in with a card for this week's Less is More - LIM71 challenge.  Chrissie and Mandi would like us to make a one layer card using some flourishes.  I've used this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge - PDCC136 for the colour inspiration.


This is a really simple design and quite quick to make.  I stamped the main flower in purple, used a mask, stamped a couple more flowers which again were masked, and then I stamped some background flowers and the flourishes.  I finished off by using this really fun sentiment!  There is white space on the card, although I suspect not enough to satisfy the clean, clear lines that the Diva Ladies like :) but I'm still submitting it to the challenge :))))


Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Fancy Flourishes Scallops & Dots, Compact Sentiments II; Dawn Bibby - Flower Patch
Inks:  Memento - Elderberry, Teal Zeal, Nautical Blue
Accessories:  Card from stash

That's all for now - hope you're all having a fabulous day.  It's been a super day here - so bright and sunny and not too humid, which is always good.  See you soon.
