A One Layer Tease

Okay - So I tried my hand at some Simply Less Is More challenges and I'm just about getting used to all that white space if I concentrate really, really hard and furrow my brow and possibly stick my tongue out of the corner of my mouth just a little.  But this week they want to see "Fur or Feathers" using just "One Layer".  They're having a laugh!  White space came sooooo hard to me but whereas I really like the DT cards and I have already spotted some wonderful entries this week - I have never NOT binned an attempt of mine to make a one layer card because my versions always look meager, pathetic, PALTRY!
And that's where I got my idea...

I coloured some organza ribbon with Copics to coordinate with the Distress ink background and hand embossed a little frame around my image.  The sentiment is word processed.   My card uses a Stampin Up image (in Memento inks) and is also suitable for challenges at:

Sweet Stampin who are looking for "Things with wings";
Catered Crop who want to see "White"; and

#31 at Charisma Cardz for "Flowers and Fauna"

But I really enjoyed last week's LIM challenge for blue and green and because I enjoyed it so much...I made more cards of the same design in different colours...

Christmas is coming...
