Simply Floral

Hello Stamping Friends!

Today's card was inspired by the clean and simple floral challenge over at 

The Paper Players.  

Earlier in the day I had created this watercolor background with watercolor paper and SU ink refills and set it aside to dry, and when I saw this theme challenge, I knew I had to use this background to create my card.

I chose the color scheme with the help of my Color Coach.  Bless its heart!

The stamp set that I used is called Choose Happiness.  I really love all of the organic and simple stamp elements in this set.  

So, onto my card.  

I hope you enjoy it and try playing with the Stampin' Up! ink refills.  They really are very versatile!

Happy Stampin'

The challenge:

Can you detect the shimmer and sparkle?  I used some retired SU paint mixed with rubbing alcohol and spritzed it on my watercolor background.
