Muse Challenge #14--Merci

I'm finally throwing my hat in the ring for this week's Muse Challenge.  What I really loved about this card was the masked circle and the white "frame" around the flowers.  I took the liberty of making it horozontal, monochromatic and bold.  I forgot how much I love PTI's Giga Guide Lines.

Here's Virginia Lu's inspiration card:


Here's mine:

Thanks for looking!
Paper: PTI White, MFT Steel Grey
Ink: SU Pink Passion, Versafine Onyx
Stamps: PTI Think Big Favorites, Giga Guide Lines
Other: Nestabilities circle, masking paper

    A striking card, Cheryl! The simplicity of using the same element all over your background has increased its impact. Well done.
