Less is More - one layer, off the edge


Well here we go on my favourite week at Less is More (NOT!), it's the one-layer card, and this week Mandi and Chrissie have challenged us to go 'off the edge' of our card.

It's a bit of a boring effort I'm afraid... I'm wondering if I should have added some pearls to the tree or something - any suggestions welcome!  The tree stamp is a Kanban one, the sentiment is from this set from Little Claire.  Stamped in Rich Cocoa memento ink, on pale blue linen effect cardstock.

I was showcased again for the pastel card I made last week - so thrilled, thank you Mandi and Chrissie.  I think it's unlikely I'll be showcased for any of my one-layer cards though LOL!

I'm also entering my card for the following challenges:

    This card is soooo not boring. I love it just the way it is. I have this stamp too and nearly used it myself. It's a lovely card and I love the colour used to stamp with.

    I love this! I've wanted that stamp for ages but never felt able to justify it. Now I've seen what you've done though...

    hi Lisa
    You would be allowed to add a little glitter to the snowflakes, even an odd gem...maybe 3 of them
    most acceptable!

    Super card once again lisa
    Thanks for entering

    It's not boring at all, I think it's beautiful. I wasn't brave enough to stamp onto linen card but I really like the effect. That's a lovely stamp you've used. Jo x

    I think this is gorgeous Lisa, it works beautifully in Rich Cocoa... I think black would have been too much, I wish I had thought of using the same ink on my latest card....

    You have done a fantastic job chick, I love your design, the sentiment works beautifully too, I really love that font...

    There is no need to add anything more to this card, honestly it's beautiful the way it is!!!

    Wow .. you have been making some lovely creations whilst I have been away.

    I love this one. The tree is gorgeous and the sentiment go with it perfectly. Even your one layer cards are worthy of showcasing.

    Hope you have had a good weekend.
