Quick Card for a 90 Minute Scramble

Yesterday the Hero Arts Flickr group held another of their fun 90 Minute Scrambles. The challenge theme is secret until time starts and you have just an hour and a half to design, create, photograph and upload your entry. It's fun but nerve-wracking for me...I love to futz while making cards. You know take my time, set an idea aside and come back to it later. These Scramble Challenges are just what I need sometimes to kick me into gear.
The challenge yesterday was to make a card with 2 or more folds. Now being a simple (read that lazy) girl I opted for 2 simple folds. I choose the stamps that were handy, favorite ink colors and a stand-by stamp technique to keep things really simple.
So here's the finished birthday card.....

 

After folding the cardstock I stamped the Large Flower Pattern stamp S5471 with Hero Hues Poppy Chalk Ink on the right flap. I stamped it again with Worn Lipstick Distress ink on the inside of the flap and on a separate panel to add to the inside of the other flap to clean up the edges.
For the front panel I did some layered stamping and embossing. First I stamped Envelope Pattern S5507 with Vintage Photo Distress ink. Then I stamped the Large Flower stamp with Versamark and white embossed. I added color with a blending tool using Worn Lipstick and Wild Honey Distress inks.
I finished the card with a sentiment (a bit sloppy, but no time to be my usual fussy perfectionist self) a punched border and a strip of ribbon.

Today I'd like to ask you to follow this link to learn about a sweet little girl,
