Happiness with Love

The Less is More challenge this week is a RECIPE

We have a very simple recipe this week and that is simply to make a card which is

NOT A SQUARE

nor a rectangle for that matter.

What we're really trying to say is that we want a shaped card.

I decided to use my Labels Collection Framelit dies.  I'd been wanting to try a shaped card with them and hadn't got around to it.  Nothing like a challenge to spur me on.

I was thinking of last weeks One Layer Wednesday challenge to do something sweet.  What's sweeter than a rose.  Well, chocolate is, but I don't have a chocolate stamp. (I'd give you the link, but whenever I try to get to that blog, I get a virus warning.  Not sure what that means, but I think I'll stay away from there for a few days.)  Here's the link for this week's One Layer Wednesday Challenge.

And the CAS challenge at SCS is LOVE., hence this sentiment.

I shaped the card by folding the card before diecutting and placing the fold inside the edgelit so it wouldn't cut the top.  (You probably already knew that, right?)  I snipped off the point at the bottom too, so it would sit straight.

I used markers to ink the flower then a blender pen to spread the color and add a little more color in some spots.

I thought it could use a frame, so I laid a smaller Edgelit on the front, and traced around it with a marker.  I need to work on that technique, since starting and stopping leaves little dots.  Hence the dots all around.

All supplies are Stampin' Up!
