Stop and Smell the Flowers

My plan for today was to create a card for two challenges ... The Paper Players Clean & Simple Plants Challenge and the CAS on Friday Polka Dot Challenge.

For my plant, I chose the gorgeous Dahlias stamp.  For my polka dots, I used the Circles Make Circles Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  I used my Life Changing Blender Brushes for my stencil, and while I love the effect, I believe the polka dots a bit too heavy to be considered Clean & Simple on my first card.

For my second card, I only stamped my Dahlia once with my MISTI and used a lighter green for the stencil and lessened the amount of polka dots.  I used my Cut-Align for my Stop and Smell the Flowers sentiment banners.
