After a short hiatus over Christmas and New Year, it’s great that the Less is More challenge is back! This time, it being our 11th birthday, the theme is, well, ‘birthdays’. Make a clean and simple card (lots of white space and minimal elements) and enter the challenge 🙂

I masked and stamped the background image with distress oxide ink, before remasking the two border strips and using the inkpad direct to the card to create the borders. I then stamped the sentiment over the top a couple of times with archival ink. Dots of liquid pearls finished the card. It happens to be a one layer card, though this wasn’t called for in the challenge this time around.
