Rhonda's Creative Spirit: LSS

I think my very favorite cards are the clean and simple ones. When I first began using digi's .. for me it was all about the images. As time went on I added more stuff and am now back to the less is more frame of mind. I attempted a one layer card but wasn't real sure what constituted one layer. Is the background considered a layer? I am thinking yes. Are embellishments such as ribbons or gems a layer? I have no idea .... but I'm thinking no. Hopefully some of you will share your thoughts.

Anyway ... after all of that (LOL) here is my attempt at a one layer card:

I just printed the image and sentiment out on the card base. This is one layer ... right?!? This image is from one of my very favorite digital stamp sets "Posh 'N' Trendy" from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. You can find it at mygrafico Store. The sentiment is from Raindrop Echoes HERE.

Visit Lindsay's Blog .. The Frugal Crafter .. for tons of inspiration. You'll find tutorials and lots of ideas and information on a lot of things. Every Thursday she has a Freebie and at the end of the week a round-up of all the Design Team projects. But id you don't want to wait until the end of the week you can visit their blogs located in my right side bar.
