Sisterhood - Birthday

HAPPY HUMP DAY EVERYONE!

Today I have a BIRTHDAY creation to share with you for the new challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters!  Since I am hosting today and my birthday is next week ... I decided that would be a fun challenge theme.  Plus, we can ALL use an extra birthday card or two in our collection.  Right?

I must admit, I have been EXTREMELY busy for the past month and took the quick/easy approach to today's card creation!  My focus image comes from a TJ DESIGNS package of vintage images that I purchased at the Adventures in Stamping convention here in Akron a few years back.  It caught my eye because I also do floral design and have actually done arrangements like this when I was working in a floral shoppe over in PA some years back. 

I've used the Cheery Lynn Designs Step Card die for my card base along with the pretty pink, double sided DoodleBug Designs pattern paper.  The addition of paper lace (Cheery Lynn Designs - Anastasia border die # B136) and Michael's pink satin ribbon was all this quick card needed.  I used my trusty Craft-Dee Bowz tool to create the bow ... SO EASY to use and perfect every time!   Oh... and also this cute little rose purchased through Inky Impressions.  My sentiment is an Impression Obsession rubber stamp.

Here are a few challenges I'd like to share in today:
