Floral plate

This is for Less is more 19: one layer - in the frame. It was one of those cards that seemed simple enough until I made it! The first time I stamped the lovely Hero Arts floral frame it didn't quite ink properly, the second time was fine, but somehow I caught my ink pad on it afterwards, so this was third time lucky! At least I practised on the other two to know where to get the sentiment before stamping it on the final one. The calligraphy sentiment is by Whipper Snapper designs. The frame design is just right too for 365 cards day 61 'I've been framed' - to use a stamped image of a frame - and, yes, I am still playing along with some of the earlier 365 challenges - not sure that I'll ever catch up though!

I coloured with copics G21, G85 and R05 and distressed the edges of the white card with bundled sage DI after rounding the corners. The colours were chosen for Picture perfect creations 61:
