Less is More Challenge - Thank You

The title of this blog looks as if I'm thanking Less is More.  I was going to change it but it occurred to me that I do have to thank Chrissie and her team for bringing back my mojo from where it was hiding. 


                                                    The  ONE LAYER theme 

this week is 

                                          THANK YOU! 

 

I have been (yet again) sorting out my stamps.  I really enjoy doing this because I forget what I own!  I came across a Hero Arts set - Scattered Leaves- that I hadn't used at all. I noticed that one of the leaves had a "Thank You" dictionary definition on the surface so I decided that this would perfect for the focus of my design for this challenge.

 

Accurate positioning was crucial in my design so I used my Fiskars stamp press to align the 3 leaves. I bought this from the internet and when it arrived I thought that it was grossly overpriced for what it was but I have found it invaluable - especially for lining up texts. 

The blue and purple inks are part of a collection of Duo Daubers that must be over 12yrs old. I am astounded that the ink is still wet!

 

The sentiment is from Stampin Up. The card blank is 6" by 6"
