Less Is More- Week 21 Challenge

I look forward to waking up every Saturday morning and heading to my computer to see what this week's LIM challenge is going to be.  This week's challenge is a sketch as follows:


As long as the basic sketch was the same, our creativity is free to run wild.  Here is what I came up with:


I used a white 5x5 card adding matted layers.  I used three different types of patterned paper for the flowers which is a Cuttlebug die.  I then used a stamp that I got in the $1 bin at Michael's.  I haven't made a single card since last week's challenge so it was good to sit back at my craft desk again and I have a feeling I'll be making some more cards today.

    Cute card Dana Leigh, I think I may have this die... it's amazing how each week some LIMette reminds me of stash I have not used for quite some time.
    This is charming!
    Thanks so much
