Happy Anniversary

Hi Friends, I am thrilled to be asked to Guest Star for The Color Throwdown Challenge!

 They provided a elegant, colorful floral color palette and inspiration photo to work with. You've got to play this week!

I had to pull out my WPlus9 Ranunculus stamp set. The golden flatware inspired me to gold heat emboss my image and I colored the blooms with Copic markers. I used more gold powder to heat emboss the Verve sentiment. (The inside says ...a happy anniversary). The Pretty Pink Posh scalloped frame was die cut with gold foil cardstock. I added a few tiny black splatters and sparkling clear sequins to finish it. 

My in-laws our celebrating 70 years married next week! I was thrilled to use the Color Throwdown #558 to make their card. 

Make sure you check out the design teams' cards as well. Thanks for stopping by!

Inspired by all the little Things 26

Hey there Friends, We've got another pretty inspiration photo for you this week at Inspired by all the little Things #26. I chose to take the wood, the little bit of green and the love theme from the photo.  I used  Cartabella Rustic Elegance collection for this. It's so pretty. My daughter's 2nd wedding anniversary is this weekend, so perfect timing for the challenge. 

I started with a journal card from the collection and matted it on a SB vellum die cut scalloped rectangle. I hand cut a fish tale banner and adhered it on a beautiful textured wood grain A2-sized panel. All the papers are textured to add to the rustic feel. A SSS sentiment was inked with brown ink and diecut. Some grey pearls finished it off. 

My daughter's wedding had a very rustic theme so I think they will love this. 

Lori Turner is our guest this week. Stop by, see the DT cards and play along, won't you?

Simon Says Stamp Wed. Challenge -Anything Goes 

Flourishes.Hop.Challenge

Hi friends, I have a card to share that I made for a Flourishes Stamp challenge. The premise of the scavenger hunt hop is to go to the blogs of 7 wonderful design team members (and the 8th clue is on the Challenge blog) to get a clue. These clues are then to be used to make your own card with all the elements that need to be included.

I just have a few Flourishes stamps, but Wow, do I love them. This is the first time I inked up this one. I will give this card to my DD and her hubby for their 2nd wedding anniversary next week.
