Just popping in with an entry for this week's Tuesday Trigger, Simple Elegance, over at the Moxie Fab World. The flowers caught my eye right away but I also liked the dark floor and the patterned rug which is what inspired the strip of patterned paper. I'm also going to enter this at the Lily Pad Simon Says Stamp Presents A Flower Challenge. Well, he's still sniffly but guess who's out painting again this morning? Luis is a man on a mission! I did manage to get him to chill out a bit last night though. We took the hounds for a stroll and then I stuffed him full of fajitas and Advil Cold & Sinus. After that, he had no choice but to retire to the sofa. :) And with Atticus sitting on his lap (yes, all 95lbs of Atticus) he really had no choice but to stay there!

Beautiful. Simplicity at its finest.
ReplyDeleteHave to love Luis :) Glad he chilled for a bit last night! Isn't it nice to have a handy hubby? I love your card...the pattern strip of paper is perfection.
ReplyDeleteAtti was just reinforcing the need to rest - good pup! Did you sneak the Advil into the fajitas? Smart lady ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the card - the dimension of the flower is the perfect touch!
gorgeous take on the trigger...love that pink and how it pops.
ReplyDeleteAdvil Cold & Sinus...you're a smart woman...that and Atticus doing his part:)
Simple and sweet. I love that tulip.
ReplyDeleteI would never discourage a man being handy around the house. :P That has to be the perfect patterned paper for the trigger photo. Sweet card!
ReplyDeleteFabulous work here Jen. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your lovely comments. I don't think I could afford to feed a 95lb dog!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love your take on the trigger. ;)
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful, Jen. Love the clean lines with just a 'pop' of color.
ReplyDeleteI looooove this card! Stunning! So simple but it is just perfect!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully CAS. I really like this one, Jen!
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely and elegant, Jen. It's so perfect for this TT!
ReplyDeleteI really want to enter this challenge, but can't find the Damask design stamp I want to use, it seems to have gone MIA ~ hate when THAT happens!
simple elegance for sure.
ReplyDeleteStylish!!! I've got some extra SRM stickers, send me your address, I'll send you some. (Reading your comment on Dana's blog).
ReplyDeleteI love your pared down take on the inspiration pic! Just beautifully CAS! There are so many great elements in that pic, my brain keeps going on off tangents:)
ReplyDeleteI hope that Luis gets some rest! He certainly deserves it!
Love this!!!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet!! Love your take on the trigger. It's wonderful CAS card!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just brilliant Jen! The strip of paper works like magic with your flower, defying all the laws of logic! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I love your tulip and that fabulous strip of paper. Great simple design. Ann Y.
ReplyDeleteOohhh, this is so perty! And I'm glad Luis is feeling good enough to paint! Admit it, you love babying him. :P
ReplyDeleteSoooo beautiful Jen! Such a fab tulip! (I missed this trigger, but the creations I've seen from it have been amazing!)
ReplyDeleteYour card is the most CAS take on the photo I've seen and I love it... very bold and graphic :0)

Elegance is an understatement here, Jen! Love this design and style - all perfect. Great use of white space, too. Take good care of that painter!
ReplyDeleteHey Jen! Thanks for linking this up to this week's Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
ReplyDeletewell at least atticus knows how to help out, when luis is sick .. love the contrast between the dark patterned paper (seriously you might need to buy some more soon if you keep using it at this rate) and the white, looks so crisp and fresh :)
ReplyDeleteoh, so darling. that tulip is just the sweetest ever.
