No designer backing papers...


We're keeping it really simple this week at My Time to Craft  - no fancy backing papers and not really many layers at all if any!  I find this really hard and tend to be a 'more is better' kinda gal rather than a 'less is more' person, but I quite enjoyed designing this simple card.
I used a Tonic die to cut out a fancy frame in the centre of a small card and added pearls to accentuate the frame (plus they masked the fact that the die had embossed circles in some parts and not in others). Good save hey?  The pearl background is formed by the inner of the card.
Then in the middle of the frame I added die cut leaves in cut from the pearl paper and a peel off butterfly attached to pearl paper and then painted in lilac a little.
All in all I'm pleased with this and may do more 'simple' cards.
Have a fun weekend.
