One of my favourite quotes is Emerson's "The Earth Laughs in Flowers" and I was so pleased when I saw iit as a stamp on Serendipty Stamp Gallery's website. My order just arrived last week and I thought it would be perfect for LateBlossom's One Layer Challenge to be inspired by nature. SU's Elements of Style bouquet of flowers seems the perfect riot of flowers to imply laughter and happiness. I used watercolour paper as my base as I was painting the flowers with watercolours. I aimed to get most of the flowers in what LateBlossom calls "one of the sweet spots" of a card (the upper third on the left) and added my quote in the other "sweet spot" (the lower third on the right) with the leaves of the flowers coming down to embrace it. I ruined three pieces of watercolour cardstock before I got the positioning to my liking! One layer cards are so tricky as you can't cover up mistakes with other layers!
