I was sooo excited to see my friend Anne as the hostess this week....and what a wonderful challenge!!! I have been babysitting all day so this card was done in bits and pieces!! Gabe is 2 and always on the go...not much time to stamp while he is awake!!
I used six different stamp sets to create this anniversary card for my DS and his wife.This is the picture that inspired me. I started by stamping the flourishes and some of the leaves on the white cs. The top leaves were all stamped, embossed, cutout, and applied with dimensionals. The Martha Stewart punched butterfly with pearls was the only embellie...can't believe I didn't use ribbon!!!
TFL and have a wonderful Saturday!!

Just love all the dimension from those cutout leaves and flowers - makes me think of being in the Palm House in the Botanic Gardens with those leaves and vines.
