Pretties Wednesday - The Rule of One!

Hi everyone and welcome to another Pretties Wednesday Challenge. Two weeks ago Jodi Collins challenged the Pretties girls .... the challenge is all about the Rule of One!! One layer, one image stamp, one sentiment and one embellishment!! Tough right???

You're not kidding this was tough!!!!!! I am not a fan of me creating one layer cards ... they look great when other people do them ... they just don't look great when I have to make one. And this is the second one layer card I have had to make in a month ... is someone out to get me arghhhhhhhhhhhh!

Now the tough part about this challenge other than it was a one layer card (as if that wasn't bad enough) was that we could only use the one image, the one sentiment and the one embellishment ... which is why my card is very very plan ... if I had a choice I would have added something else to this ... maybe using one of my cuttlebug embossing folders; brads; paper piecing or scoring ... something ... ANYTHING!!!! But as we weren't allowed to I didn't!!!!!

I chose Wade E Bug for my image and the sentiment is also from this set. I figured the best embellishment to use for this challenge would be the ribbon as it covered a wide space.

Here is another card I made for this challenge, this time using flirty fortunes ... I stamped the take out container onto my red card and embossed it. I then colored in the take out container with bleach, which removed the red and left white. For some reason the photo looks blurry here ... I am not sure why it looks perfect in the file I saved it??
