I have so many stamp sets that have never seen ink - I need to do something about that! This sentiment from Beautiful Bouquet is one of my favorites for anniversary cards (the inside says "...it's in the staying there."). This card is pretty simple but gave me a chance to do some coloring with Stampin' Blends. I think I'm finally get the hang of it!
I added the vellum die cut under the flowers and dry embossed it for some texture, and to make it show up better.
This card is for the designer's choice challenge at SUO, the tic-tac-toe challenge at Paper Players (diagonal from upper left to lower right, plus a bit of silver in the ribbon), and the vellum die cuts challenge at TGIFC.
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

I had no idea what you used for the die cut under the flower until I read your description, it looked a bit like lace to me. Just gorgeous and perfect for this sweet anniversary card! Thanks for playing along at SUO Challenges, hope to see you for the new challenge starting today!
