The theme is Embellishments (use two or more) with the optional twist of One Layer (but this is only an option) and the challenge is sponsored by the lovely people over at Birch Press Design. I'd love it if you could hop over to Time Out challenge and check out the fabulous creations from the very talented DT....... and if you want to join in the fun the challenge runs until April 24th
For my card I decided to go for a 'sort of' one layer design! I cut and folded a piece of vellum to fit round a card blank (basically making it an insert) then I traced a Uniko digistamp freebie onto the vellum using a white Sakura pen and coloured it with Promarkers. I stamped a sentiment from the Uniko 'flower power #4' set before tying a piece of ribbon (which I'd coloured with Promarkers to match the image) around both the card blank and vellum. To finish off I added some gems.
I shall enter this in the following challenges ~
Uniko challenge 'spring, optional twist easter'
CAS on Friday challenge 'spring'
Country View challenge 'easter and/or spring'
Addicted to Stamps and More challenge 'anything goes'
TCP Tuesday challenge 'spring'
Thanks for popping by today and I hope you'll be able to join in the fun at Time Out (don't forget to check the rules and details on the challenge blog)

We are delighted to have you as GD and with such an amazing card. What a creative way to make this nearly a one layer. I have never tried this but it sure looks good. Such fresh and pretty colours. And to colour the ribbon was an inspired idea. We can't wait to see what you come up with next week. Thanks for being our GD x
Beautiful make Andrea, the image and card look really delicate.

Hi there! CONGRATS on your guest slot and CONGRATS on your win...I hope you are doing the lottery Andrea!..lol I really like your spring card which could easily be used for Easter too...and great use of some of that velum we all have in our stash but never use. A lovely spring day here but you need your thermal underwear..so cold. Hugs xx
Brilliant use of several embellishments, and my CAS heart is so happy with how you still managed to keep you card so clean and simple. Thanks so much for being our Guest Designer at Time Out.
Definitely a super LIM card, love the lovely Spring colours and a really great image.

A beautiful springtime design, Andrea! Congratulations on guest designing at Time Out!! Hugs, Darnell
Beautifully CAS Andrea and such a perfect card for Spring x
What a brilliant idea Andrea. I love the look of the velum wrap and the perfectly coordinated ribbon xx
This is such a clever idea and really effective. I have never thought of colouring ribbon with alcohol markers. I shall have to try it. I love this card, simple and colourful. You can't beat yellow and green xx
So soft and dreamy, Andrea ... such a gorgeous fresh daffodil, wonderfully subtle on the vellum wrap! Thanks so much for inspiring our players as our Guest Designer at Time Out! Anita :)
What a great idea to use the vellum as you did. Wonderful effect. Beautiful spring card. Daffodils are blooming like crazy where I live right now. Thank you so much for joining us as Guest Designer at Time Out and sharing your beautiful art.
Wow . This looks terrific. Never would have thought of doing this but now you have given me an idea. Congratulations on your guest designer spot. Well deserved. Hugs Mrs A.
First of all Congratulations on guest designing at TO ! Your card is so beautiful with these fresh and pretty colours for the beautiful Uniko daffodil ! And what a brilliant idea to stamp on the Vellum and to use it as a wrap of the white card. Love it ! Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at Addicted to Stamps and More and at Uniko. x
This is so pretty! Love the CAS style and beautiful daffodil!
Echoing the others: your daffodil is beautiful and has all the more impact with the way you've used vellum! Thrilled to see your creativity in the Uniko gallery!
