Anniversary!

Happy Monday to you! Today is my parents wedding anniversary, so today I have their anniversary card. You get to see it before they do, because that was one of those "longest weeks of my life" weeks and I didn't get it made in time to mail it off to arrive in time. It's fiiiine...... 

I used the latest Freshly Made Sketch, and the flowers represent the circles. I stamped the flowers on white card stock, cut them out, and popped them up on Dimensionals. Admittedly, the two super close flowers are one cut out, ha... 

Supplies:

Stamps: Detailed Dogwood, To Have and To Hold

Ink: Memento Black, Gorgeous Grape
Stampin' Blends: Dark & Light Highland Heather, Dark & Light Granny Apple Green, Dark Daffodil Delight, Bronze

Paper: Highland Heather & Basic White card stock, Country Woods DP

Accessories: Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon, Dimensionals

But now we're off to another busy week! Hope it's amazing for you too!

We Create Blushing Blog Hop

Hello, hello! Another month, another blog hop!

This month, in honor of Valentine's Day, we're focusing on our selection of red and pink colors. I used two shades: Cherry Cobbler & Petal Pink! I also used a set from the still new Occasions Mini catalog.

This card uses a great sketch from a couple weeks ago on the TGIF Challenges blog. For the couple, I colored his hair with the Bronze marker, and then used a little Color Lifter. For her hair, I drew with the Dark Basic Black marker, then I colored over all of it with the Light Basic Black. Both of their skin was colored with the Ivory marker, and then a little Color Lifter on his arm. His shirt is done with the Dark Cherry Cobbler, and a little Color Lifter. Her shirt is layers of the Dark Petal Pink, which is still really pale! I wasn't 100% sure how I'm going to use this card so I picked the most generic greeting of the set, haha!

Supplies:
Stamps: To Have & To Hold
Ink: Memento Black
Stampin' Blends: Dark & Light Basic Black, Dark Cherry Cobbler, Dark Petal Pink, Bronze, Ivory, Color Lifter
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Petal Pink, Whisper White card stocks
Accessories: White Bakers Twine, Big Shot, Circle Dies, Dimensionals

This is definitely a card for my Valentine/Love class! I wanted this set the second I saw it, I just am going to need more Stampin' Blends to color these two in! haha!

Now hop on over to Cheryl's blog to see her creations, and then hop thru to everyone else's! We'll get you in the mood for some bright, happy February crafting!
