Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – 1

Hello and welcome to Stamping with friends Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I have chosen to share a card made for my aunt and uncles 60^th Anniversary a couple of days ago and have chosen my colour palette to reflect the colours of the embroidered flowers on the flower girl dresses worn by my cousin and myself. The card was made using the Memorable Blooms stamp set along with the Unbounded Beauty and Country Woods dsp.

Colours Used to make this card are:

I die cut the number 60 using the Birthday Celebrations Dies and scrap Silver Foil card and added them to the second Basic White panel adding the th from the Birthday Celebration stamp set with Night of Navy ink. The panels were then adhered to the Misty Moonlight card base and onto the Pretty in Pink layers.

The sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set was stamped onto the small piece of Misty Moonlight card using Versamark ink. I covered it with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool before adding it to the card front.

A trio of Party Dots completed the card.
