Simple Stamping 411 Sketch#139

This card came together sooo fast I just had to post it right away! I made it for the Stamping 411 sketch#139 here.

I cut that out and adhered it to a Chocolate Chip piece punched with the Wide Oval punch. I then stamped the sentiments in Chocolate Chip on Pretty in Pink card stock then cut them out. The piece of 1 1/4 inch striped Chocolate Chip grosgrain is cinched with a flower from the Sweet Pea stitched felt. A Circle Ice green brad finishes it off!
