Five Words for Hope

Clean and simple cards are very difficult for me.  They look clean and simple but for me there's a lot of work going on in my head, not to mention the battle of holding back.  It is extremely difficult to not pick up the patterned paper and ribbons, the bling, the brads, the charms and dies and punches.  I know you can use some embellies but I want to use them all. 
When you look at a card like this it looks like it took less than ten minutes to create.  Well, the actual putting it together only took a couple minutes but the planning and editing took hours. 

The Hope You Can Cling To challenges are up and running on Splitcoast Stampers.  Anyone can play along if they are a member.  If you not, it doesn't cost anything to be a member so sign up and play.  You can be doing something positive for Breast Cancer Awareness while you're doing your favorite thing.  AND there's hundreds of prizes you could win, lots of them are really big.

This card is for the "Five Words" challenge.
