CAS - Clean and Simple

A bit of a change of direction from me today after all the mixed media and grunge.  Something Clean and Simple and hopefully Elegant for the Allsorts challenge.

I took my inspiration for the card from the sketch over at Retro Rubber.   I grabbed the old SU set Botanical Prints which I haven't used in such a long time and the flowers are so pretty I thought they could stand up to being CAS all on their own.   

On opening my stamp set I found some of the extra bits that came with this set so I used one of the cut outs to look like Trellis behind the flowers.  I stamped the flowers in Distress Archival Ink and Versafine Clair.  I used a stitched framelit to cut them out and layered them on dimensionals to make them pop a bit more.  The sentiment is from an old Simon Says Stamp set.
