My card...
My focal image is Daisy Basket (small) but, there is a larger version also. I stamped the basket onto XPress It Blending cardstock, colored with copics (on the white petals I used a light W copic to give a little dimension and I shaded around the image with a light B copic- not sure this shows well in the picture). The image was cut with a circle nestabilitie and adhered to the die cut doily with foam for dimension. Did some stitching, added a bow with button/twine combo. Don't you just love the font on this sentiment! You can find it here.
Now, I have to say that I LOVE banner flags but, after I made this card I was just undecided if this was the right card for them (do you every do that?) and so, I tried something else.
Still not sure which I like better.
Here's a close up of the adorable Daisy Basket.

A huge congrats on the DT!! Love the basket and you have coloured it fabulously. I am forever trying to decide what I like better on a card -- my family runs for the hills when they see me coming to ask for their opinion LOL!
Congratulations Vickie, you are a great designer and Serendipity is so lucky to have you on their team. Love what you have done with your card today...I am a banner person so I LOVE the first version of your card, although that second looks really nice too with the banner gently bent. I am looking forward to seeing everything you make with Serendipity stamps...I am so happy for you!
Yes, I do that all the time! I like them both but the first one just a bit more. Your basket card is beautiful !
Congratulations and welcome to the DT. Like Cathy said we are very lucky to have you!

Vickie, this is so sweet and your basket of flowers is beautiful. I love all of the wonderful details too, your background paper is perfect.
