Less is More Week #10 Sentiment Focus

A quick post to participate in another challenge this week. I'm on a roll!

This week's Less is More challenge is to create a card with the sentiment as the focal point. As soon as I saw this challenge I knew just the sentiment I wanted to use. It's from Stampendous and has not seen ink yet because it is so large that I wasn't sure what to do with it. Ok, I'll make it the focal point (duh!) I stamped the background with a stamp from Stampin' UP! in Memento Pear Tart (luv that color), added the sentiment on top of that with Memento Rich Cocoa, placed some Copic colored-to-match pearls in a triangle and rounded the corners of the Classic Crest cream card base. Done! And I couldn't be more pleased with it. Doncha just love it when an idea comes together better than you envisioned it?

Thank you for your visit today. Comments most appreciated ;D

Big Hugs,
Colleen

    Great to see you at "Less is More" once more!
    I'm so pleased that your card worked out even better than you wished. It's great when that happens.
    Enly the rest of your week.

    Wow ... absolutely gorgeous. Love the colors and sentiment.
    I would be happy if a card just came out close to how I envisioned it. :D

    That is a wonderful sentiment Colleen! I love the way you presented it, the colors, the stamped image behind and the colored pearls! Isn't it great when an idea works out.
