Simplicity. Sounds 'simple', right? Ha! It's not as easy as it looks for some of us!
Seriously, I am so glad that I found my way over to Susan's Simplicity blog. Anyone who knows me, knows that clean and simple is something I struggle with!
I finished this card, and I kept physically reaching for the BLING!!! I wanted to add gemstones, or ribbon, or flowers, or birds. or butterflies, or.... you get the picture! My inner self was screaming at me to pick up my starburst pen, or something sparkly or fluffy!
In the end, I stayed true to the challenge. It was for One Layer Wednesday, and the challenge was to use a flourish. Take that, inner self!!!
The back is beginning to feel a bit better. I slept all night! We were supposed to go out of town today, but decided not to do so. Hopefully, I'll be back to pestering all of you on your blogs very soon!
Hope that you are all having a blessed Father's Day!
Hugs,
Patti J.

Simple is good and you mastered it very well, I know how you feel about the bling and such that is me as well. Love your card♥
I think we used the same stamp set...I, however, could NOT resist the urge to add a little bling. I SO not a rule follower sometimes!!
Love your card. The sentiment fits it nicely.
