Less is More - Week 76 - One Layer

Hi Gang - well this week sees the challenge over at Less is More:

 Everyone's favourite... the 
One Layer Challenge 
and this week it's really simple

 
Three of anything that is, three colours, three images, three stamps, three words, the number three.... it's up to you, but don't forget the white space, a simple design and just one layer!
 
Okay....... so that seems pretty simple eh?  Well I had several ideas and disliked all of them!!!  Then I came up with this:
 
I've used an A5 blank white card and stamped the outline from my Stampin Up Fast & Fabulous set three times using Versafine Sepia ink.  I then used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the second step which was inked up with SU Oh! Orange.  It looked a little unfinished so I added a tiny dragonfly stamp - again 3 times - and added Glamour Dust to their wings and as trails.  The sentiment is SU Wonderful Words.  

So, all finished I took a photograph and connected my camera to the computer and............... nothing - HELP!!!  So I then use my OH's camera and connect to the computer and..... again...... nothing (*******.......*****!!!!!).  Deep breath, then the mouse won't work; so thinking outside the box and panicing at the same time think "right, I'll scan it" - Oh no I won't - computer won't recognise the scanner...... so no photo, no scanned image, no mouse - what do I do - oh yes, shout for the OH!  Anyway with a lot of fiddling, turning off, turning on, taking everything out of the ports etc etc - won't bore you but it took ages ........ and we're now back to normal.  What happened?  Well, we have no idea but I'm typing this very quickly before it happens again..... lol

Thanks for dropping by - I love reading your comments.
