Hello friends. I have an anniversary card to share today. I have 4 to make for May and this one is going to a sweet young couple.
I received some new goodies from Pinkfresh Studio and this is one of the sets - Blooming Branch. I ordered the stamps, dies, and stencils and they are so fun to play with. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the stencils to blend the inks over the image: Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo for the blooms and Wild Wasabi for the leaves. Going over the leaves with the same ink makes it darker using the 2nd leaf stencil. I used a marker to color the flower centers, even though there is a stencil for them. I also did not use the 3rd flower layer stencil as I like them the way they were. I die cut the image and mounted it with foam tape to a panel embossed with an older Tim Holtz Alterations EF, and then mounted the panel to my white card base. I really like the finished card and enjoyed using the stencils, which I don't do often.
I will enter this in a few challenges:
and The Flower Challenge - Add Layers
and also Darnell's NBUS as this is the first time using this new set.
and to The Card Concept's April flowers inspiration. Inspired by the pretty pink blooms.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
This is extra pretty, JoAnn! I think that sweet young couple will love it!
