Krafty Chicks challenge #726 - All occasion

Good morning lovely friends.  I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week so far.  It''s time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and we are now on Week 4 which means Lori is our hostess and our theme as always is 'All Occasions' which couldn't be easier.  So come over and join in the fun with us. 
My mother needed a last minute birthday card for a friend so this challenge was perfect timing for me.  I went fairly clean and simple and only used card, ink and stencils (apart from a few sequins) so it didn't take any time at all to make.  The finished card is 5" x 7".  I hope you like it. 
Here is my card:
A close up of the stencilling:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by cutting a white panel 4 1/2" x 6 1/2", grabbed my lilac ink pads and a gorgeous lotus layering stencil and created this gorgeous design.  I stamped the sentiment in black ink and basically the card front was finished.  I added a black mat panel with double sided tape and added the whole panel onto my card base with foam tape.  For a final flourish I added 5 clear sequins for some extra interest.  For the inside I cut another white panel, masked the stencil so that I only ink blended one of the flowers in the right corner and stamped a sentiment in the centre in black ink.  Again I cut a black mat panel and adhered them together with double sided tape.  I also added it to the card base with double sided tape.  I love layering stencils as they make your cards look like you took ages colouring and adding depth with shading but it literally takes 10 minutes and you are done!  

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Addicted to CAS challenge - code word: nature
Beautiful Blossoms challenge - anything floral goes optional mood board
