No flowers, no flourishes, no fuss

Thought I would show you the card I've made today using the craft stash I've bought this week (I'm sure it's an obsession and I really must curtail my spending, spent so much this week - but then I don't smoke, don't drink and don't go clubbing every night - and I'm not condoning anyone who does - but crafting is something I enjoy and it gives me a form of escapism from the trials and tribulations of everyday life, although compared to some my life is pretty simple.
Anyway, getting back to the card - it's an 8x8 scalloped card blank, covered in 12x12 sheet from The Goody Bag, along with the glitter card (not sure if this is the latest one from Docrafts, as there were too many to choose from in Hobbycraft). The stamp is another Whimsy one from Oyster Stamps, coloured in with promarkers, green and yellow ribbon and a little bow and hey ho one very pretty card. I decided I didn't want to put anything else on it - just liked it simple - hope you do too x
