The less is more style does not always come easy to me, I find it easier to keep adding rather than take it away:). This card is an exception and I'm really pleased with it. I bought the Hero Arts flower stamps with the idea of doing lots of paper pieced flowers with them and remembered some orange cardstock I have. I won a challenge for the first time ever, probably a couple of years ago and my prize was lots of Stampin' Up paper cut into 6" squares. I've used lots of it but not the orange. Don't get me wrong, I do like orange but it does need a lot of space around it and less is definitely more wth it! The sentiment came from a Papermania set and I've added a big blob of Glossy Accents rather than a brad in the middle of each flower, which makes it a card that won't need extra postage. The paper is double sided the even the underneath of the blooms is orange.
