Day 55 - Card Recipe

I have had such fun looking at your cards from yesterday's challenge! I wasn't very pleased with my own take on the challenge, and almost tossed it. But then I decided to share it, if for no other reason than to remind myself that we can learn from our mistakes.

So I will pick myself up and start again with today's challenge~

Wouldn't it be nice if you just had a simple recipe to follow that only allowed for variation in colors/patterns? Here's the recipe for this card:

5x5 card (solid colored card stock - may be smooth or textured)
4x4 patterned paper (you may alter the edges if you'd like)
1 shape (circle, square, star, heart, etc.) - must be solid color
3 jewels
alpha stickers

That's it! Nothing more. Can it be done, and done well? After looking at Sophie's card, I think so:

This is so pretty, Sophie! Now I know it will be tempting to stray from the "recipe", but give it a shot and see if you can stick to it. I will, too ;)
