Less is More - Week 80 - One Layer

Happy Sunday everyone - hope you're all having a good weekend.  Well, I'm definitely improving on last week and decided everything else could wait whilst I made my challenge card for the lovelies over at Less is More whose challenge this week is:

ONE LAYER CARD
and this time the subject of your creations should feature
FUR or FEATHERS
(This should give you plenty of scope.)
As ever, please don't forget that white space and keep any embellishments to a minimum.


I think we are all getting used to what used to be the dreaded "one layer" cards and it doesn't panic us quite as much as it did!!!  lol  I've used an A5 card and turned it to landscape orientation.  and used my lovely stamp BAZOO - Just for You by Helz Cuppleditch - it's such a cute image (and I'm hoping these giraffes will come under the Fur category).  Stamped in Memento Bamboo Leaves and Rich Cocoa (giraffes inked up first and then used the Bamboo Leaves on the frame).  Coloured entirely with Flexmarkers.  The sentiment is from the same set and the same inks etc used.

BTW - and this is mainly for Mandi & Chrissie......... - my photographic skills seem to have deserted me today and I couldn't manage to get a photograph that showed the right colours - so I'm afraid I resorted to my trusty scanner!  SORRY...............

Thanks for dropping by and leaving comments and will love to pop over to your blogs to see your fantastic creations.
