I got such a surprise too when I discovered one of Bev's new releases for May featured those milestone wedding anniversaries. And this card just had to be made! Oh yes, it's my 40th anniversary in July - that makes me feel so old!
No decision to be made about the colour then - a veritable sea of red was what was required.
There wasn't a stamp that said 40 long years so I had to go with sensational instead. And I suppose it is pretty sensational to have stuck it out for so long!
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko Studio, Flower Power #7 & Classic Numbers
Inks: SU, real red, garden green
Die: Lil'inker, stitched mats rectangles
Embellishments: Doodlebug sprinkles, ladybug ast; Wink of Stella, clear; ribbon from my stash
And of course one card always leads to another. That unusual outline flower is just so appealing and there's someting about a simple line of flowers that makes my heart sing.
I was so pleased when I managed to trim the flower panel so that the line of Happy Birthdays on the black cardstock was revealed above and below. A simple sweet card that hopefully showcases Bev's stamps really well.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko Studio, Flower Power #7 & #5
Inks: SU, rose red, regal rose, pear pizzazz
