FMS 360 & Ink 172 - an anniversary card

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches and the designer's choice challenge at Inkspirational Challenges.


And here is today's card:

As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew that I had to use the Floral Frames stamp set and coordinating framelits. I used the new color coach to come up with the palette of Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, and Mango Melody. I incorporated the vellum in the leaves and the sentiment piece. The sentiment was stamped in Granny Apple Green and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This is my favorite technique for stamping on vellum with inks other than Staz-On. There's a bit of Wink of Stella on the flower centers for just a touch of shimmer.


 I'll be using this as an anniversary card for some friends and family this month. Hope you like it!

 Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

 --Cindi

    I’m loving the bold colors and what a great idea to mix vellum leaves with the green ones. A beautiful and classy design fit for many an occasion. Thanks for joining our challenge at Inkspirational.

    I love the way you have incorporated the vellum leaves into your design. The softness of these works as a lovely contrast to the vibrant colours. Thanks for joining Ink
