CFC97 - Thankful for you

Hello, and happy Friday!  I hope everybody had a lovely Easter.  We went over to some friends' house and had such a great time, eating yummy food, dying eggs, hunting eggs, eating more yummy food...it was a lot of fun!  Today I'm here with this week's challenge from CAS-ual Fridays!

CFC97: Use both chevrons and flowers in your clean and simple project.

And this week's challenge is sponsored by the oh-so-fabulous Ellen Hutson!  The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to spend here.

I love both of the design elements required for this week's card, so it was super easy to create this paper yummy:

This card came together really quickly, which doesn't happen too often 'round here.  I used a shaped card base by Basic Grey (which already had that cool chevron pattern on it!), and paired it with a big chipboard flower and alpha stickers also by Basic Grey.  The two banner stamps are from this stamp set by Kelly Purkey and Simon Says Stamp.  I stamped them on a piece of plain white cardstock, then distressed it to better match the chipboard piece.  Here's a close-up:

I really hope you'll play along with this challenge!  You have until next Thursday at noon EST to do so.  Thanks so much for looking!

Supplies: card base, chipboard flower, alphabet stickers: Basic Grey; card stock: Georgia Pacific; stamps: Kelly Purkey/Simon Says Stamp; inks: Tsukineko (brown), TPC Studios (orange), Ranger (Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen)
