I had a few different ideas for cards for this week's Play Date Cafe challenge but I ended up having to go with the quickest as I got yet another call from work asking me to come in today. *Sigh* I have a feeling this may become a regular thing. Perhaps next Monday I'll turn my phone off...

Supplies: CB: The Stamp Pad Co; Stamps: Hero Arts, Lawn Fawn; Ink: VersaMark, ColorBox; Lavender & Starry Night Stickles

Back to the card: I went with a Hero Arts flower and sentiment and a Lawn Fawn banner and sparkled it up a bit with some Stickles. I think if I were to do another one I might shade in the flower a bit but for now I'm sticking with uber-simple. :)
On another note, Emily asked me what punch I used for the flowers in yesterday's post. Both the flower (Pop Flower) and the tag are from Woodware in the UK. There is a Woodware USA but currently they only carry stamps, peel offs and ink pads. Hopefully they'll start selling the punches too because not only do they have a huge selection of designs but they are also durable and give a great clean cut. I don't have the same problems with them as I did with another brand as mentioned here.
Edited to add: The stems and leaves from yesterday's were cut from Scenic Route patterned paper.

Just when you think you have a relaxing day off, BAM the phone rings! LOL! Cute card!
Love the use of the banner here, and of course, the overall look of the card.
You need to learn the fine art of screening your calls! Work is gettin in the way of your crafty time! ;) Very pretty card and love the little banner you tucked in for the sentiment :) Glad you played with us at The Play Date Cafe!
What a glorious flower!! Both on the backing and the big purple one!! You must turn off your phone, or at least let it go to voicemail so that you can screen your calls :)
Glad you found time to squeeze in this 'quick' card Jen! Thanks for playing along with us at the Play Date Cafe :)
