Don't be fooled, this card was so simple to make!
I sat down yesterday to make a card with next week's colour combo and I had an Anniversary card to make. I looked through my stamp sets to see which set had and Anniversary sentiment and Layers of Beauty had everything I needed.
I decided to couple this set with the Basket Weave 3D Embossing folder and I'm so happy with how it turned out.
I started with cutting my card pieces:
Basic White Thick, 14.5cm x 21cm and scored down the centre at 10.5cm
Blueberry Bushell, 14.25cm x 10.25cm
Coastal Cabana, 14cm x 10cm
2 x Basic White Thin, 14.5cm x 10.5cm
Basic White Thin, 6cm x 3.5cm
Blueberry Bushell, 6.25cm x 3.75cm
I then made the rest of the card:
Using the large flower stamp with Clear Block F, I stamped the image in Tuxedo Black on one of the large pieces of Thin Basic White cardstock.
I then used the blending brushes with the Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green inkpads, I coloured in the flowers and leaves. (Isn't in incredible how you can use the decorative masks to achieve such a depth in colour using just 1 ink colour at a time?)
I die cut the flowers using the dies with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and set them aside.
Using the multipurpose glue, I adhered the Coastal Cabana piece of cardstock to the Blueberry Bushell Piece.
Then, with the Basket Weave 3D Embossing folder and the Stampin' Cut & Emboss, I embossed the other large piece of the thin Basic White cardstock, then trimmed it to 13.5cm x 9.5cm and adhered it to the Coastal Cabana cardstock with Tape & Tear.
I used more Tape & Tear to attach the flowers to the Basket Weave cardstock.
Using the 'D' Clear Block and the 'Happy Anniversary' stamp, I stamped the greeting in Blueberry Bushell ink on the remaining piece of thin Basic White cardstock, then with multipurpose glue, I adhered it to the remaining piece of Blueberry Bushell cardstock.
I used the Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to attach it to the card front.
Using the blue embellishments (1 x big one and 2 x small ones) I completed the card as shown in the photo.
Paired with a Stampin' Up! C6 Envelope, I wrote in this card and popped it in the post.
