Vintage Christmas Rose and a sneak of ODBD Black-Eyed Susan

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I hope you have been having a fantastic week!!  We had a wonderful time away in Lancaster.  I had the opportunity to do a lot of window shopping and even get started with my Christmas Shopping.  It was great to have some time with the family and away from the house for a bit.  I have been so absorbed with selling the house and it was great to not focus on it, if even for a short time.  The weather was gorgeous!!!  I can't believe we had 13 inches of snow a month ago and now the temps have been in the 60's!!  Very cloudy as of late but unseasonably warm.
Anywho on to my creations......I have two to share today.  One that I created using a Christmas image released a couple of months ago at Our Daily Bread Designs using some of my prized ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the other a sneak peak for a release at Our Daily Bread Designs which will occur TOMORROW!!
First, I have a card I created usingChristmas Rose and Seed Packet stamp sets from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The image was colored with copics and then distressed.  The designer paper is from Basic Grey Capella.  I embellished the card using brown 1/2 inch wrinkled ribbon tied with the the bow easy .  I decided to make a triple bow rather than a single bow and put a button in the middle.  Behind my image I used a crocheted doily to give my card a vintage flair as well as added some stitching.  The dp is dry embossed with a leaf or fern embossing folder to add texture.

CARD RECIPE:

Stamps- Christmas Rose and Seed Packet stamp sets from Our Daily Bread Designs. 

designer paper- Basic Grey Capella.

ribbon:  brown 1/2 inch wrinkled ribbon tied with the the bow easy  (Really Reasonable Ribbon), pearl trim from my stash, button from my stash

Punches: Martha Stewart  Daisy Edge Punch

My second card was created for the CAS sketch challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.  I rarely do CAS creations but I did have fun creating this one.  I feel the flowers really take the show.  Since it has been cloudy around here, it felt good to create my own little bit of sunshine with the bright colors.  The flowers are created with the Daisy image to be released at Our Daily Bread Designs tomorrow and the Stitched Background (also a new release tomorrow).
