Hey there!! Here with two cards for two Flourishes challenges. Timeless Tuesday.... a fun sketch provided by the super talented Silke!! And the Flourishes Christmas Spirit challenge. Both cards are a bit on the "plainy janey" side. The Christmas Spirit challenge this month is to use Santa in some form on your project. For my super simple card I used the santa ornament from the Holiday Sparkle set. I stamped the image on some Eclipse tape and then trimmed him out to create a mask. I cut a piece of Rustic Cream cardstock to the size I wanted and stamped the image in Cherry Cobbler ink on it and then covered it with the mask. I then stamped the pine bough over the mask using Old Olive ink. I distressed the edges of the stamped piece and matted it with Old Olive cardstock that had the edges distressed as well. Some Diamond Stickles were added along with a bow tied from twine. 
The second card is for the Timeless Tuesday challenge. I stamped the rose image from the set Petals and Peace on white cardstock with Tuxedo Black ink and then colored it with Copics (sorry... forgot to write down what colors I used). I then diecut the image using the matching Flourishes/Spellbinder die Classic Keyhole. The patterned paper is from the BasicGrey Jovial 6x6 pad. I combined it with some red burlap ribbon for a... well... interesting look! I think I will add a sentiment before sending it out as the card looks a bit plain without one.
