Less is More #2 ~ Flower or Tree

 I love Saturdays :D another challenge from the LESS IS MORE girls this morning and this week it is ONE LAYER with a theme of Flower or Tree. I have chosen Flower.


I have used a flower from a See D set called Flutter By Butterly and stamped it using Plum and Pine Green Marvy Le Plume II pens. For those who are new to my blog i love See D stamps of course they have stopped making them now. I have over 100 sets.



 I have embossed a circle around the flower using a nestie...this give the ONE LAYER that added bit of interest. The sentiment is also a See D set.
Must dash a busy day ahead today....
Thanks for stopping by today. Whatever you are doing today......enjoy! Ali x
