Less is More: One Layer with Flowers

  • by

Considering that I love CAS designs, and consider myself a (mostly) CAS card maker, I rarely join in the Less Is More challenge, and I rarely make a one-layer card.

437 OLC Flowers

But for some reason, this challenge appealed to me, and I set off to find some stamps. I ended up with a new-to-me (and never used) stamp from a Simon Says and Altenew collaboration  and two much older stamp sets from Papertrey Ink.

Welcome

The beautiful corner frame is from “Framed Friendship,” the Simon Says and Altenew collaboration. The stylized flower is from Papertrey Ink’s “Doodlie-Do” set, and the sentiment is from “Vintage Picnic Sentiments,” one of my oldest sentiment sets.

A dear friend just moved from her home of nearly 60 years to a senior living community where she and I both know she’ll be very happy! As soon as I saw this sentiment I knew exactly who would be getting this card. The floral arrangement was colored with Copic markers which do bleed through cardstock, making it a problem for a one layer card, but I simply layered another piece of cardstock on the inside front of the card which solves the problem. I used X-Press It Blending cardstock so it’s a bit smoother and less bulky than the usual. As always, I’m happy to have used long neglected stamps as well as a never used one.

    It’s very effective and I like the placement of the design on the front of the card! It’s sure to be a hit with your friend, and I hope her move is a happy one.

    A real pop of colour makes this fab card stand out. I often use a paper insert when I have bleed through, but your solution works too! Thanks for playing in our one card challenge over at Less is More.
