Do you know how hard that is?? For someone that takes More the Merrier seriously. Think simplicity! 2 colors, 0 bling, at least 1 embellishment, 2 layers, not counting the base. Do I see an "way out" in the guide lines?? At least 1 embellishment!?! Does that mean you can use more than 1? YES, but I did not.
Let's see that creativity shine! If you upload to a gallery, please use the key word FLLCJAN12. Entries must be in before Friday, January 13th at 5PM EST.
When it says two layers, does the base card count as a layer?? Now it does not, my first card uses two layers with the base being the first. But the two colors, does grey/sliver and black count as two colors or is it just a different hue of the same color?? What ever your definition is, mine was to use metallic black, grey, with silver trim. I am happy to say that challenges usually give you a bit of leeway in the creative process.
I used those colors because that was what was used in the graphic image, that and I wanted to use the iron work Spellbinder die and the silver trim with dark metallic reminds me of iron. Following the exact letter of the challenge I made a very simple design.
Here is a card in red and kraft/brown with a little more pazzaz and still following the challenge as written, or real close, maybe.
With a new embossing folder and my old Scor Pal I designed this card in a flash. All of the embossing comes from one folder called Debonair Edges. New embossing folder made in Australia and new to Flourishes store this last week.
Tomorrow you will see the inside of my card as it is not suppose to be shown till then and I will have another card to go along with it. For today, check back at 12 noon CST to see what we have cooked up as a challenge for you to win the sentiment set shown today, and don't forget that there is time to do the other challenges listed on Flourishes blog too.
These ladies have more impiration to get you started today.

Fabulous takes on the challenge, Sharon! Love the first one, especially!
They're very pretty, Sharon! You did great! (I am chuckling at your "more the merrier!" statement, though! I KNOW what you mean!)
Love how this pretty pocket looks Sharon! Very cool!
Both of your cards look great! I really love the clean and simple look, so your first card really appeals to me!
