CCEE1338 - One-Layer Card

This week is National Singles Week, so, as hostess for the CCEE Stampers this month, I challenged the rest of the team to celebrate by making a one-layer card.  For my card, I colored the flower image with markers and then stamped it in the corner.  The markers give a bit of a water-color look to the flower.  I like to draw a single line frame on clean and simple cards -- it pulls the image and the sentiment together.  Be sure to check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see what the rest of the team did.

Stamps:  Mark's Finest Papers - Nature's Brushstrokes
Paper:  MFP Premium Heavy White
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories:  Memento Markers - Bamboo Leaves, Tangelo, Tuxedo Black

As everyone else has said, the frame lines really make this card! It's a lovely floral image, too!
