Apothecary Roses

My sister is celebrating her 55th birthday tomorrow and the card above is already on it's way to her.  I had stamped and colored these images from Apothecary Art some months ago thinking that it would be good to have them on hand when I was pinched for time and it seems I'm always being pinched for time these days.  Maybe that's where these strange bruises came from on my arm.  No, I don't have some strange disease, I've been unpacking boxes at work and stocking the supply room.  Thus the bruises.  But working these 10-hour days to get Friday off leaves very little time to do everything that I want to do when I get home from work.  Still, I managed the other day to get these two cards done thanks to my earlier coloring session.

I brayered my new embossing folder (from the SU Holiday mini) with some Daffodil Delight ink and boy did that pattern pop.  I cut a two slits in the banner portion of the image so I could thread some Daffodil Delight seam binding through it and that's how I added the bow.  The sentiments come from a retired set called Warmest Regards.  

The second card is going to an acquaintance who just had her hip replaced and is recovering very nicely I've heard.  

I can't make up my mind which one I like better.  Which would you choose?
