You know when you make a card you just love? Well, this is one of those cards! I really love the simplicity of it, but I think is has an elegant feel. The layout for the card I found on the Clean&Simple blog. I am really loving that blog lately.
The base of the card is Very Vanilla. It is layered with Taken with Teal, Tempting Turquoise and Flock Together DSP. I attached this layer to my card before I began working on the stamped layer.
The mat pieces for my stamped layer are Taken with Teal and Tempting Turquoise. I stamped my "weeds" from Very Versatile in Tempting Turquoise and Take with Teal. I usually test my colours on a scrap piece of paper before doing my stamping, and I found the Turquoise a little to bright. So, I lightly stamped some of the colour off before stamping on my card stock. It gives a slightly softer look.
I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig, and a greeting from my Very Versatile set and stamped it directly on the base of my card. I had a thought after, that with the different greeting available in the set, you could leave the card without a greeting, and add one when you need it. As a final embellishment (before attaching this layer to my card), I used some Tempting Turquoise ribbon and a piece of Filigree hardware (for some bling). Hope you like the card!
This is gorgeous! I see why you love it.

I wanted you to know I stole your card idea to use for my May stamp camps. It is lovely! I mixed it up a bit, largely because I do not have that stamp set. :-)
