Today is my mom and dad's 40th wedding anniversary. What an astounding accomplishment?! I thought I might celebrate this ruby anniversary with a card. Knowing that this anniversary is very special, I've been trying to design a card all week and had many near misses, nothing seemed to work with my vision. This morning I thought I would try it with some scraps of red cardstock. This simple result worked for me.
The flowers are made using my Heartfelt Creations Posy stamps and dies. It's hard to tell in these photos, but I stamped the flowers with Versamark ink creating a watermark look and then cut them using the dies. After shaping the flowers, I individually applied glitter to the edges of the flowers and then glued them together in layers. This allowed me to be able to place glitter only on the edges of the flower. The flourish comes from the Spellbinders Floral Flourishes. The trick here was selecting the right green so that this didn't look like a Christmas card! The sentiment was printed on the white cardstock using my printer. Once again, I used text boxes to selectively place each word to create the sentiment.
The inside sentiment was also printed using my printer. Everything came together and I now have just the right card to give.
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!
