A splash of lime

Two posts in one day....very productive for me.  Had this card in my head and it came out pretty much how I planned it.  That's a first for me.  It's a top fold card, the background layer is stamped with Impression Obsession Rubber Stamps roses cover to cover image and one cut out to pop on top of card.  The main image with the lady smelling the flowers is from The Stampsmith .  The corner punch is from Stampin' Up and the ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbons .  This is my take on vintage being the main image is vintage looking.

Entering this card in the following challenges:
1.  The Stampsmith Challenge - anything goes
2.  Fashionable Stamping Challenges - flowers
3.  That Craft Place Challenge - vintage
4.  Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - #178 roses and ribbons
5.  Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C151 sketch 
6.  The Play Date Cafe - #146 color splash - black and white and lime

Hi Sue
This is a favourite Stampsmith stamp of mine (I am sure I say that about all of them lol). The fresh yellow background is so pretty as a backdrop.
Thank you for sharing with us at TSC and Good Luck with the Prize Draw.

Perfect stamp choice in fact I had this stamp out as a possible use for my DT sample. Never tire of seeing this image. Pretty flower.

I know what you mean. I started this card a few times with different stampsmith images that are my favorites. the color in the card is actually very lime green but I guess my scanner lightened it up so it does look yellow. thanks for your nice comments. stamping sue
