Welcome to Day 3 of the 2013 Artisan Entry Blog Hop!
My style of cards is mostly detailed and elaborate, but I wanted to make sure to show my range with my entries, so I did toss a clean-design card in there. As you can see, it is fairly simple, but there was a lot of Stamp-a-Ma-Jig'ing involved to line all of those chevron images properly on the card base. The flower was first stamped in the center of the yellow oval, and then stamped again on a piece of white cardstock, handcut and popped up for added dimension. The sentiment comes from the Curly Cute stamp set (which I was sad to see retire - it was my go-to set for bigger sentiments).

Beautiful Card. The chevron alignment must have taken you a long time, but it was worth it. Love the cheery colors too!!
