Krafty Chicks challenge #808 - CAS

Good morning lovely friends, I hope you're having a good week so far. It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and this week we are on Week 3; and as always the theme is 'CAS (clean and simple)' and Diane is our hostess. Now we know that CAS is subjective but generally it's lots of white/empty space, no embellishments (or very few) and an uncluttered design. It can be a difficult design to pull off but we hope you will take on the challenge and come over and join in the fun with us.

I saw a sketch on the CAS Colours and Sketches challenges blog that I really liked so that was the layout sorted for this card.  It is also Uniko's 14th birthday celebrations so I thought I would pull out some oldie but goodie stamps and join in their challenge too.  I love the fun flower stamps and I think the card turned out great.  I hope you like it too.  

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel to 4" x 5 1/4" and stamped the linear pattern stamp in each corner in a grey ink.  I also stamped the sentiment in the same grey ink.  The flowers are two-step stamps so I stamped the first layer in a light pink ink and the second layer in a medium pink ink and used the matching die to cut them out.  I stamped the leaves in the same grey ink and fussy cut them out.  I arranged the flowers/leaves as I liked them and adhered the leaves and the lower level flowers with liquid glue and added the top flower with foam squares.  I added some scrap white card behind the panel and adhered it to the card base with double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel, stamped the linear pattern stamp in both corners and the sentiment in the centre with the grey ink.  I added one flower and one leaf to the bottom right corner with liquid glue.  I adhered the panel to the card base with double sided tape.  A fairly quick and simple card but I think it's really pretty. 

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
