One Layer with a focus on the Sentiment

Over at Less is More Chrissy and Mandi certainly know how to give us all a headache - this weeks challenge is a One Layer Card with the focus to be on the sentiment now I took some time to think about this as I don't own that many sentiments and then thought of one from Pink Petticoat which has recently been made into a stamp (free with a recent magazine although I can't recall which one), so Saturday evening out came the card and inks etc and I made this little card which I was going to post on Sunday morning but my scanner went on the blink and I had to delay submitting my entry and then when I came to look at the entries already made I noticed that Maureen had beaten me to it using this sentiment and produced something along similar lines. Shame to waste it so thought I'd post anyway along with something else.





So out came the thinking cap again and its taken me until now to come up with something else - I sometimes feel a bit intimidated looking at all the other marvellous entries so far but hey ho we all start somewhere and its great to get such inspiration and learn from others which is the marvellous thing about the Less is More blog. So this is my second attempt which uses a sentiment I used for a previous challenge but its good to get milage out of your stamps isn't it.

I hope you like these I know they aren't the best representations as they are scans but what with computer problems etc I haven't got round to sorting out my camera options yet.

Thanks for looking

  3. It is hard to get a card done after looking at what others have done. I usually don't look until after I've posted my card! LOL! Great job on the challenge!

  5. Hi
    Trouble with scanning cards, they loose all their life! I think that little birdie would have looked fab sat on the sentiment. Maybe have left it uncoloured.
    Well done, a true LIMette, working hard lol
    Don;t feel intimidated, by the way, everyone plays an equal part of this challenge blog

  12. It's great that the old grey cells get a work out with our challenges each week. I'm amazed at the wonderful ideas which emerge!
    These are great... I like Mandi's idea of the bird sitting on the sentiment, that might look cute!
    I also agree about the scanning, but sometimes technology gets in the way of things!!!
    Enjoy the rest of your week.

  17. Well done. I love the first one (I love birds so all cards with birds are automatically favorites). I agree with Mandi and Chrissie, the bird would look adorable sitting on the sentiment. :)
    TFS!!

  18. Two great cards. I agree with you about looking at what others have done before doing your own card - I sometimes find it gives me a block as I don't want to copy someone else's design. Sue.x

  21. Both lovely cards, my fav is the first one. I've got a few 'cough,cough' Pink Petticoat downloads! I can relate to feeling intimidated by the other entries, I played along on my blog by myself for a while before I plucked up courage to join in. Sarah
