Less is More flourish

This week the Limettes are challenging us to use a flourish on a one-layer card.  While I was looking for a flourish I realised I've hardly (if ever) inked up this Elusive Images birdhouse with a flourish growing up its pole. Hope it is a suitable flourish!  I white embossed it and brushed some Distress Inks onto the masked card.  The sentiment is Papermania.
