Simplicity - PDC Challenge

The Play Date Cafe is offering up a challenge this week using this photo as color inspiration:
I've never participated in a challenge on this site, but was quite enamored of these colors, so I thought I would give it a try. This is the card I am entering for the challenge:
 
The background paper was from my stash, something I had made using color wash sprays for another project. The postage stamp image was purchased a long time ago and I no longer remember who the manufacturer is. If you recognize the stamp and know who made it, please let me know.  The phrase is from Club Scrap.

I hope you enjoy a weekend of simplicity. Thanks for stopping by.
