I love clean and simple cards and think I have managed to achieve that with this simple design.
I used the masking technique, by which I stamped the flower a couple of times onto some Post It Notes which have low tack adhesive across the entire reverse side of each note. I cut them out and used them as masks, enabling me to stamp a row of pretty flowers with no overlapping or gaps.
So ... it works like this .... I drew a very feint line in pencil and stamped a flower in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I then stamped another one on the line beside it leaving a gap. I then covered both of my flowers with the two masks and stamped one across the gap. Then I removed the first mask in the row and stamped another flower along the pencilled line, again leaving a gap between the last flower and repeated the process.
Once I had a line of flowers I erased the pencil line and chose an assortment of my Blends with which to add colour.
The sentiment I have used is from the Love What You Do photopolymer stamp set.
I finished off my top layer with a little bow.
...And voila ! It's colourful but quite understated, with lots of white space. I really do like the overall effect. Hope you do too. Thanks for looking.
Bye for now.

That is such a pretty card Linda. I love clean & simple too, and this card is a perfect example. I love the layering as well.
