Less is More 31

The challenge at Less is More is to use something metallic on your clean and simple design. This was a difficult theme for me. I was determined to play along, so I pulled out some ancient penny copper embossing powder and set to work.

I used an old Stampin Up set called Mostly Flowers that I picked up on eBay a number of years ago but hadn't really used at all. I embossed the image on PTI vintage cream cardstock and carefully cut out the squares. I popped them up on dimensionals and stamped the sentiment in Brilliance coffee bean ink.

I had intended to use three squares in my design, but not necessarily in this arrangement. As I was playing around with them I remembered this horizontal sketch challenge I had seen on the Moxie Fab World blog. I thought the Merci sentiment fit nicely, with the large 'M' taking the place of the flower in the sketch.

Thanks for visiting today, and thanks to Mandi and Chrissie for showcasing my card from week 30. What a thrill to see my work among so many other beautiful entries. I don't know how they choose each week; there is always such beautiful inspiration at Less is More.
