Hello friends. I have another anniversary card to share today using the colors at the Color Hues challenge - Pink & Green. Of course this just says flowers to me. :)
ETA; YEA, my card was a Runner Up at Color Hues.
I used several new items on this one - Honey Bee Lovely Layers Anemone for the flowers, leaves and buds; Pinkfresh Studios Sparking Diamonds Cover plate for the background, and Spellbinders Many Birthdays for the Happy stamp and die. I had been eyeing the Honey Bee Anemone die set for some tine and finally ordered it - I love it. After die cutting the images, I lightly sponged ink over the edges to make it stand out better. I also shaped the flower petals a little before gluing them in the centers only. Happy and anniversary (retired SU) are mounted with foam tape. I love that cover plate also and think it makes a great background.
I added Wink of Stella to the flower center pieces and this photo shows it better.
I will also add this to MYNBUS challenge as I have several never before used items on this one.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a blessed day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
Love your beautiful card, JoAnn! The Large Anemone is such a pretty flower. I have been getting more of these die cut florals lately and really like seeing how talented crafters like you create such loveliness.TFS

You certainly brought this anemone to life, JoAnn! It's beautiful and shows off so beautifully against the pierced design of the background!
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty pink and green, gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteYour floral cards are always so beautiful, JoAnn! They will long outlive the real thing and are just as gorgeous! (Hammy gives you a thumb's up on the winking!) Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS and thank you for sharing your own experience with the journey I'm on. Slow but sure! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card JoAnn, the subtle inking on the edges certainly adds extra dimension.The background detail of the plate die works well too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at Color Hues. :)
Wow - absolutely adore your anemones on the diamond coverplate, JoAnn!! Perfect use of those colors!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jo Ann, just had to pop over and admire your gorgeous card. The anemones look great in our Color Hues and I love that great background plate!
ReplyDeleteI'm resisting, JoAnn. Honey Bee makes great three dimensional flowers and now that I've see the anemone made up I may have to have it. You did a beautiful job with it and I love the background coverplate too. So glad you shared at NBUS.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Joann! Love the texture of the background behind that beautiful dimensional flower! Thank you so much for playing along with us over at the Color Hues Challenge!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful flower JoAnn! LOVE the subtle patterned background too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Color Hues!
The anemones are beautiful - I hadn't noticed them before. I think your sparkly center and hint of sponging for dimension really make them stand out!
