Less is More - off center



This card is for the Less is More Off Center challenge. I needed a Mother's Day card (actually, I'll need 2; 1 for my mother-in-law, also) and wanted something simple. My mom's favorite color is purple, so I stamped a lavender paper square with a violet (rubber stamp from Michael's colored with purple and yellow LePlume markers) and matted it with dark purple. Put it on top of some sheer, shimmery ribon and did a similar treatment for the sentiment inside. I didn't have a "Mom" stamp, so I free-handed it on the front (not sure it was really needed, though). Hope you like it.
