Today I have a very simple card I did for two challenges Simplicity's One Layer Wednesday and Bling it up for CAS-tastic Challenges.
I so love the look of simple when I see what everyone else does - but I find it so hard to do myself. I always feel that since I am making the card that every cool thing I have ever learned/done has to be presented on one card. It almost seems like cheating to stamp simply and leave it - know what I mean!?!? I used Smooch on the butterfly from Book's a Flutter to give him a little shimmer, a little blingy thing behind him and that is the sum total of what I did to this card. Lots of fun - easy and fast!
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to go visit all of my other fellow hoppers - for a full list go here.

I know what you mean!! I really struggle with cards and balance/colours...I don't know why and it's frustrating...but I'm having fun anyways and that's what is important right?
