Cherry Blossom Thank You - FTTC #69


It's time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC69)! This week I'm hosting and I'm challenging everyone to do a one layer card. Not much explanation required with this challenge! Go have some fun and show us what you can do!

I really do love a well done one layer card. I keep working on getting it right and I think I'm getting close on this one. I love it. I stamped the large image from Cherry Blossoms on Classic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic markers. The sentiment is from Tag Lines, also stamped with Tuxedo Black ink. A sheer black and white polka dotted ribbon with a pink button finished it off--couldn't stop myself, LOL! Clean and simple and I love it. There. I said it again ;-)

Thanks for dropping by! Be sure to check out the one layer cards my team mates have for you and join in the challenge! Don't be afraid to try it--you might surprise yourself!

And, today is your lucky day! One of the FOF Blog Team designers has the Cherry Blossom set up for grabs!! To win it just visit all the FOF blogs and leave a comment on each blog. One winner will be chosen from all the comments combined. Good Luck :)

  6. Yes, you really got it just right! It is really lovely. But what a difficult challenge - with one layer, it's got to be perfect, no covering up our mistakes and saying just one more layer, LOL!!!
