Less is More 67

The challenge at Less is More is to use three stamps, and three stamps only, on a one-layer card.  It took me a while to wrap my mind around this one.  With so many choices, which three to use?!

I decided on a Close to My Heart polka dot background stamp, a Hero Arts flower, and a PTI sentiment and ended up with this.  I did try it using a mask for the flower before stamping the background, but I like the polka dots showing through the flower the best, which is great because that made it super simple.  Just stamp, stamp, stamp!

I have to say it is the colors that make me really love this card.  I have been in love with these VersaMagic colors lately (pink grapefruit, mango madness, and persimmon) and don't want to use anything else! I bought the set for the pink grapefruit as I've never had a good peach or coral color, but I ended up loving them all.  There is also a lovely green called key lime.

I think this is a pretty standard layout: square, flower, sentiment.  Susan used it yesterday at Simplicity and it's very similar to last week's Clean and Simple sketch.  I'm sure it's been used countless times before then, but I thought I should at least point out where I've seen it recently.

I am also linking up to this week's Tuesday Trigger, bright bite, as I've used the same bright citrus colors.  The only one I left off was the green.
