Congratulations-Anniversary Card


The base of this card is just some craft cardstock that I have in my stash.  I cut it 6x12 to make a 6x6 card.  The blue floral paper behind it is from an old stack that someone gave me and I really liked the older style of it.  The edge was cut with a Martha Stewart punch. 


The flower is one of my handmade flowers made by cutting circles from cardstock and misting it with a spray bottle of water.  I crumpled each piece up and then just barely opened them and used my heat gun to dry the paper.  I then layered them largest to smallest and finally put a little gem in the center.  Also, I tucked a couple sprays of white silk fowers in behind the handmade flower.


I stamped the sentiment with a stamp from Stampin Up in the Close to Cocoa Ink.  Distressed the edge first with Ranger Tim Holtz vintage photo distress ink and then again with the Stampin Up Close to Cocoa ink, 


My image, I believe, was one off a free color page site.  I used my copic markers to color them.   For the bears I used E13,E15 and E18.  For the blues in the clothing BG11 and BG15. YR68 and YR 61 for the dress I believe, and YG03, YG63 and G02 for the grass.  I know!  What a mix but they turned out cute.


I took a piece of white cotton lace and tied it in a bow.  Used a spray of orange silk flowers and some white  flowers I purchased from Wild Orchid Crafts some time ago and applied orange chalk ink to give color to the edges.  And if you look really close just below the center of the bow is a little heart charm.


And..... finally the inside of the card.  A layer of white cardstock edged with orange chalk ink.  Another layer of the older floral patterned paper with the Martha Stewart punched edges and then the center white piece with the sentiment from Stampin Up.  I attatched some white daisy silk flowers with some open roses from Wild Orchid Crafts in the centers.

Thanks,
