Hee, hee! I'm so proud of not using ANY embellishments on this card...it just doesn't need them. The images are nicely detailed, as is the sentiment, so anything else is simply unnecessary. So if you want an extra challenge, avoid using any embellishments...but that's not required.
For my card, arranging the three butterflies in a visual triangle adds balance to the asymmetry of the images, and also plays up the curvy flourish of the sentiment. But this challenge invites lots of different layouts, from loose and flowing to very linear and angular.
OLW20 Rules
1. A one-layer card is defined as a single piece of cardstock folded in half.
2. Make a card that has three images and one sentiment. You may use three coordinating images, as I did here, or repeat one image three times. Just keep it to three images. Remember to keep embellishments to a minimum.
3. Please share your creation by posting your card online and then using the InLinkz button in the sidebar of Simplicity to link to it.
4. Most important of all...HAVE FUN!
