ART FROM THE MAIN HOUSE: Less is More Challenge (1)

Today was one of those days when I spent more time than I should have going from blog to blog to blog, but it was such fun!  Had I not done this I would never have found a great site called (Simply) Less is More!  My work is often described in comments as "clean and simple" (aka, less is more), so I was intrigued.  Their challenge this week is to create a one-layer card which includes a stem.

 I have had a stamp for quite some time that deserved some ink so I pulled it from the PaperArtsy plastic and grabbed my Copics. Paired with a PaperArtsy text stamp, I believe I have met the challenge!


Take some time this week to get into your art supplies and create something new--perhaps a "less is more" card for this challenge. You can find the details here.

Thanks for your visit today and for taking a moment to leave a comment. Both are appreciated!

Cheers!

    Thanks for visiting my blog Kay. I always appreciate comments so here is one for you: what a pretty project you have made! I like that floral stamp, but then I am partial to all things Paper Artsy.

    Oh YES my dear Kay, you have met the challenge perfectly. Your card is wonderful!!! Simple, but so beautiful just like that, with not many layers or embellishments or details.
    This is curious that I'm able to like this much since my style is not really "less is more" as you know haha!... but yes, I say that sincerely, I love it Kay. Is it the quirky flower stamp?.. It is the great coloring with only three shades of orange you used?... Is it the simplicity and beauty of your quote?... I don't know, but for me the whole looks very beautiful and just perfect!!! Mwah!

    Wonderful use of your neglected stamp, Kay - combined with the Copics it's a knock-out!
