OCC Limited Supply Challenge

This week's OCC hostess is Kim Teasdale and she has created another fabulous challenge… she has challenged us to a Limited Supplies Challenge. Here are the rules: You may use any paper including designer papers but are only able to use a maximum of 3 layers (including your stamped image), 1 type of embellishment (buttons or brads or ribbon, etc), any stamps that you like and sentiments are optional.

I usually get in trouble with limited supply challenges, but I think I kept within the guidelines. Not sure if my sentiment counts as another layer..... As you know I usually have a few more layers, and a lot more embellishments.

This week's talented guest designer, Christine Okken of Christine's Creations! Thanks so much Christine, for playing along with us this week!

My sweet Donkey is from Alota Stamps. I love this sweet donkey, and will be showing you another card with him real soon.
