Stampin' Up Simply Celebrate and Petal Parade card

I wanted to show you this card that I made the other day. I like this sentiment, I haven't seen it used much, but I really like how bold and swirly it is. I actually had a fellow demonstrator ask me where is this stamp in the catalog? Well it's in the Everyday Mini on page 30, it's called Simply Celebrate. I paired it up with Petal Parade, one of the FREE stamp sets in Sale-A-Bration.

I also used the cork flower, it's also a Sale-A-bration item. I really like how clean and simple this card is,yet the mixture of textures (the cork flower, the burlap look to the Natural's ribbon, and the paper Piercing). Did you notice the Paper Piercing? It's subtle, but definitely adds a component to the card, what do you think?

I really like the Petal Parade stamp set, the more I use it the more I like it!! At first I thought, "oh it's just another flower stamp", but the combination of the flowers in that set is so versatile, and  just pretty.
