ANNIVERSARY FOR FRIENDS


I made this card for our friends Joe and Cindy who celebrate their anniversary on October 27th.  The stamps are from Heartfelt Creations.  There is a set of dies to cut out various sizes of flowers for matching stamp sets. 

The first step was to use the largest of the Spellbinders Lablels 17 die to cut the cards base by setting the die slightly above the fold.  Then I cut a second complete piece with the same die and stamped the flower bouquet onto it.  It was colored with Copic markers and yellow Stickles added to the center of the flowers. 

The popped flower is from a separate stamp in a coordinating set and was cut out with the Heartfelt Creations die which is made by Spellbinders.  It was also colored and then popped onto the matching flower in the bouquet.

The sentiment was stamped and then cut and embossed with one of the Spellbinders Blossom Tags and Accents.  After cutting and embossing, I left the tag in the die and then sponged some pink ink over the design to go with the flowers.
Thank you for stopping by!  Would love to hear what you think!
