Back again!

Yep, me again, 3 days in a row and still more cards to show! Lets see if I can post everyday, although maybe I shouldn't tempt fate while my mojo is here or else it'll run away again! Anyway, I hope you're having a good monday so far! Today's card is a clean and simple one for a couple of challenges. Inspired by this weeks Less is More challenge of One Layer and Inking as I'm a total Copics girl and they do not work on one layer cards! So I needed an idea to get some colour in, I made it by masking off the strip - although not brilliantly so don't look too closely ;-), then blending different Distress Inks. Then stamped the flower twice side by side over the top. Although now I look I realise I've kind of wandered away from the sketch! Hopefully it's still ok! Thanks for looking!
I'm entering into these challenges:
Clean & Simple - this sketch, combined with...
CAS-ual Fridays
Less is More - One Layer & Inking
Cute Card Thursday - Clean & Simple
Supplies-
Image - Hero Arts 'Flower Meadow'
Distress Inks - 'Peeled Paint', 'Shabby Shutters', 'Crushed Olive', 'Stormy Sky' & 'Boken China'
Twine - The Ribbon Girl

This is so pretty Beth, really well balanced and delicate.

Thought you might like to know that you inspired me with your red poppies card so much that I had to make one too which I have just posted. Thanks for your inspiration! :)
