I wanted to have a go at the new challenge Less is More. It's week two over there and the challenge this week is to make a 'One Layer Card' with a theme of either a flower or a tree. Shame on me - this is the first time this butterfly tree stamp from Elusive Images has seen any ink. I stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossed it - then coloured with Cosmic Shimmer paints. The greeting - also embossed is from a Serendipity set and as you can see I didn't get it central - no second chances when you're working on one layer - so I added a little butterfly to the corner.The sentiment isn't blurred IRL but the light's not too good here today and this is the best I could get it.
I'm glad I found this challenge coz now I've got a reasonably lightweight card ot post overseas.
Thanks very much for visiting.

This is a lovely card Beryl, I'm so glad you joined us.
Did you see last week's tip about positioning stamps? If you can find some acetate and Lego Bricks you can make yourself a positioner. DO take a look! However, I have to say the little butterfly works well in disguising the position of the sentiment.
We have challenges every week so do join us again next time!

Beautiful card Beryl. If you hadn't told us about the sentiment we would all think that you had designed that way. I looks perfect.

Oh Beryl, you've made such a fabulous card here. This stamp is just gorgeous and you're so brave to stamp straight onto the card, well done with your CAS cards.

I love this stamp Beryl, its gorgeous, so are the colours you have used on the butterflies and the one next to the sentiment looks great, looks like it was definitely planned to be there.

Hi Beryl, beautiful card and colouring I love that tree stamp. I wanted them but missed out. I just thought you'd planned your sentiment that way. Looks great to me. Hugs x ChrisB
WOW Beryl, this is so gorgeous, wonder why I haven't this particular stamp as I love any with butterflies.
My parchment tutor has always said, use a butterfly if you feel something isn't quite right.

Beryl its absolutely gorgeous, what a brill stamp to have. Bet it gets a right good inking now lol.
This is beautiful Beryl.
A really lovely image and your sentiment is perfect alongside it.
I can't believe that this is the first time you have inked it up!! It is gorgeous.

Loving your card and such a great stamp and colouring. Annette
Love this..such a fabulous image, love your colouring, and the font of the sentiment is gorgeous! such a stylish card! Hugs Juls
What a gorgeous card, Beryl. That image is stunning and I had to go back to see what you meant about the sentiment not being central. Your little butterfly disguised it so perfectly I didn't even notice.
Hugs Lisax
Superb card Beryl, love that stamp and like others have said, if you hadn't told us the image isn't where you wanted it we wouldn't have known. Great job.

This butterfly tree is just absolutely stunning. Great coloring and CAS card. I thought I had commented earlier this morning, but see I got excited about the CAS blog you mentioned and forgot! : ( I think I will give it a go. Thanks for sharing.
