Less is More challenge.....

Like a lot of people I am really enjoying the challenges from Less is More Chrissie and Mandi have certainly made us think about our cards for these challenges.
I was just about to post my card when I saw that my friend Karen had used the same stamp that I had used so had to start again.....
This weeks challenge is 'One Layer - off the page'.  For this I have used the lovely Asian Poppy stamp by Hampton Art Stamps.  Coloured with Copic pens and I have used a sentiment from one of the Stampin up Sets called 'Whimsical Words'.

Kathy asked what about the copics coming through the card.  I dont normally colour with copics directly onto my card but I will put some decorative paper inside.

    Hi Anne
    I've come back again, to make sure you realise I meant that about the sentiment as a total compliment
    Your card is so stunning, your stamped and coloured image is so perfect that it makes such a perfect statement I meant
    Don;t want you to think I was criticising!
