Less is More

Well it's Less is More time again and this week Chrissie and Mandi have asked for a One Layer Card and a Frame.  I decided to make an inked rectangle for the frame and managed to waste a fair bit of card in the process - what with one  mistake  or another,  in the end I threw in the towel and slightly cheated.   I was going to the print sentiment directly onto my card with Craft Artist and decided to print the coloured rectangle as well.  Then I used my new Clarity Alium stamp and embosed with white detail embossing powder.

I hope you like my card, I will probably make another attempt at this challenge later in the week

    So glad I'm not the only one to make mistakes, OneLayer cards are lovely but very unforgiving! The sentiment is fab and your card very elegant

    A wonderful hybrid card. I love making them myself because I can't stamp a sentiment straight to save my life. The colour of the square is perfect. Thanks
