Simplicity

I made this card late last night, as I was working on some other cards, which I can't show you now and realized I didn't make anything that I can show you. LoL. So I decided to make a simple card using the Unity Stamp Co. set I got from my husband for Christmas called "Gratitude= joy", I am really challenged in making simple cards, I can't make a card in under 30 min, this one took me about 20, but the design process took me as well about 20 trying to figure out which image, which saying, which paper and color combo to use, and which embellishments. I am simplicity challenged LOL....why to be simple when it can be complicated, it has been my moto since primary school. So here is the card!

Supplies:

stamps: Gratitude= Joy from Unity Stamp Company

ink: chocolate chip and bashful blue

paper: chocolate chip, bashful blue, whisper white, american crafts pp

other: dew drops, chocolate chip wide grosgrain ribbon, bashful blue wide double stitched ribbon
