That can be a new born baby or a grumpy teenager.  The prize is a £10 voucher to spend on anything you like at Crafty Purple Frog.

I used several papers from the Just For Men 6" x 6" Paper Pad - Brights Collection to cover the card base and also cut a star from one of the papers.

The sentiment is from the Just For Men A6 Stamp Set - Rock Star stamped onto another of the papers.

This is my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge, it's the dreaded one layer week and the theme is Curve.  I didn't manage to join in last week because hubby treated me to a few days away for an early Birthday treat.

The sentiment is from The Lovely Studio (formerly Pink Petticoat).
