Seven Layer Card

Another Dostamper stars challenge:

Lots of layers today. Please, someone stop me from making more layers! Have you ever created a card, (or cake, or a painting) and you tell yourself, "this is good ... but a little more _____ would make it great"? Whew! That is why design "rules" were made for people like me, because sometimes you add on, and then add a little more etc. etc. until you have added too much, and the whole thing looks grotesque! I think my card goes just right up to that point, what do you think?

The design 'rule of seven' that I was taught, in art classes in school, is this; "Odd numbered items are found in nature, usually 3, 5, or 7.Too much and you have a field of flowers, not a bouquet. If your goal is to make a bouquet, don't turn it into a field!

I digress. I have a fever of 101.5, and am trying not to ramble.

Just l-o-v-e the botanical builder framelits! I could sit and create flowers all day! They remind me of the curtains and sofas that we had when I lived in Florida as a small child. I took the card stock colors from the Designer Series Paper pack, and the sentiments are from the Rose Wonder stamp set.
