Caardvarks- 1 2 3 Challenge




I've been having a look around for new challenges to keep me busy while i'm on my hols and this Caardvark one definately seemed challenging with only 1 embellishment allowed! Keeping it simple, minimizing... For some of us, that's hard to accomplish. We want to cover every inch with embellies and make it busy-beautiful. Well, let's take a stab at using just a few items - we'll limit ourselves and see what develops. Sound fun?
Create a card using 1 embellishment (Nathalia's screaming, "NO!!!!!!" Can you hear her?), 2 patterned papers, and 3 flowers. Show us what you can do! (Oh, and do it by August 16th - post a link to your card(s) in the comments section of this post - we'll add them to the
1-2-3 Gallery.)
The flower slides out of this card to become a bookmark, I know loads of avid readers so my book mark cards are always snapped up.
I used Basic Grey 'infuse papers for this one.
