A 'Just for You' Card

Today, I am sharing a clean and simple 'Just for You' card to enter into
this month's Flower Challenge using the sketch below.
I have had this free digi-stamp for ages (which comes as part of a set), so I
thought it was a good time to use it.

but of course as always, it's not obvious in the photo!
