SCS Virtual Stamp Night Mini

I was out of town on Friday during Splitcoaststampers' Virtual Stamp Night Mini but got the chance to play a little catch up today and completed two of the challenges.

My first card was for a challenge which required that the design contain flourishes of some sort: stamped, embossed, or die cut.
