Flowers and Ribbons

Just a few cards I made today just before I upload my VSN posts for this weekend!

This first is for Friday Mashup's Challenge #21 for the sketch and embossing, The Shabby Tea Room's Challenge #76 to use pink, peach, green, neutrals and handmade flowers and for Just Add Ink's Challenge #82 to use something old that you haven't used in a while. I can't remember the last time I used this stamp set, the ribbon has been retired a while now and the brads are from a Hallowe'en purchase at least 2 years ago!
