A New Anniversary Card

 Hello friends.  I am sharing an anniversary card made for a young couple at church that is celebrating their first anniversary this month.  I used the colors from Color Hues Challenge - Orange and Green, plus the neutrals of kraft and black.

ETA: Yes, my card was a runner up at the Color Hues Challenge.

The flower is from Altenew/Pinkfresh Studio Celebrate Us stamp & die set. It is a layered stamp set and I used Pumpkin Pie ink, stamped off once for the lighter shade and full strength for the darker shade.  I colored the leaves with alcohol markers.  After die cutting the image, I trimmed a little of the white border off, added Wink of Stella to the flower, and mounted it with foam tape.  The green dotted paper is from my stash and I used black mats on it and the embossed kraft panel.(Tasteful Textile EF).

This photo shows the pretty shine from the Wink of Stella pen.

The sentiment is from an older JustRite Large Fancy Sentiments (not sure if it is still available).  I fussy cut it and added it with foam tape also.

I will also link to Watercooler Wednesday - All About Occasions.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

 

Happy Stamping,

Birthday Wishes for Color Hues

 Hello friends.  Today I have a birthday card for a friend that I made using the Color Hues 

Challenge - Red & Gray

 

 

I used Altenew Watercolor Stripes  Cover Die cut in White.  I also cut one in Smokey Slate but like the white one better and and glued the Smokey Slate cut outs in the openings.  I stamped the pretty flower from Altenew/Pinkfresh Celebrate Us and fussy cut it out.  I colored the flower with SU Real Red and Cherry Cobbler Blends and the leaves with Smokey Slate Blends.  I mounted the flower and the sentiment with foam tape.  I already had the sentiment stamped and die cut from a previous project, and just added a scalloped oval in Smokey Slate.  I added 3 small enamel dots for the final touch.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I really appreciate your comments.

Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

JoAnn
