OLW 39 - Image, Border and Bling

This is my first attempt at the Simplicity challenge. I have been encouraged by my friend Carol. This is not as easy as it looks. Making one layer cards are not as easy as I thought. However it is really making me think and try to become creative. Since I am visiting Carol in Florida I do not have any supplies so had to go shopping. Of course that was not a hardship. Carol did let me use some of hers. I live in Colorado. So here is what I came up with. I hope you like it.
I borrowed some yellow card stock from Carol's stash. I used a border stamp I purchased by Fiskars. The butterfly is from PTI and the flight swirl is a $1 stamp.... both from Carol's collection. Added a few rhine stones to the flowers. Also colored the larger flowers with markers.

 I am really pleased with my first attempt. Thank you for looking.
