I'm the hostess for today's Ways To Use It challenge. It is Henry David Thoreau's birthday, also known as Simplicity Day. So today's task is to create a Clean and Simple card. If you want to go further (think of it like a dessert option), you can incorporate an element from the ideas expressed here or here.
Clearly, my card is clean and simple in its style. I incorporated the idea of simple into my sentiment (ordinary) and also added a leaf to represent "tuning in to nature".
Thanks for looking!

I like the card you used for your base, it adds to the organic feel. Autumnal is in keeping with the sudden change in our weather here. Love the popped-up leaf, so effective.
Toni, I love the challenge! What a good reminder to work towards simplicity in our daily lives! This is gorgeous! I love how you added dessert! The background blocks are awesome with the popped up leaf!
