FS221 - Ode to Susan Raihala!!

Did you see who the Featured Stamper is this week at Splitcoaststampers??!!  None other than one of my most "favorite-ist" stampers ever - Susan Raihala!  Susan has a way with a Clean & Simple (CAS) card like no other - plus she throws in plenty of design tips too!!
Used the sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping to CASE this card.  Susan uses lots of white space in her creations - is a whizz at layering white upon white - and she is always a sucker for some "bling".  This card is also for the Less is More Challenge - Thank You or Congratulations.
Aren't those flowers cute?  They are from the Clever Girls stamp set from A Muse and the sentiment is from Just My Type.  A liberal sprinkle of twinkle stickers and a hand drawn frame finish up my "Ode to Susan".  Be sure and check out her blog - You won't be sorry!
You also won't be sorry if you order from my A Muse|Studio online shop (did you love my subtle segue?) - All supplies on this card came from there - hint, hint. . .

    This is my kind of card Michelle. I love your stamping, the sprinkle of gems, the drawn border and the raised panel on your card. I'm a fan of Susan too... aren't we all?!!
