On Monday, I was playing around with a SSS floral stamp set, stamping with water. I ink blended the DOx inks on the crumb cake, misted the flower with water, stamped on the blended background and then stamped again on plain crumb cake. So two backgrounds for the price of one! I thought this background would make a nice background for today's sketch and yesterday's teaparty for Anita's aunt and uncle, Frans and Maria. 50 years together! Quite the milestone. I love this vintage photo stamp of the loving couple; I bought it for a card for my ex husband...haven't used it much since. I keep it in my Valentine box, kept seeing it all Valentine season. I need to use it for my kids' anniversaries or Valentines. Finally this is for the ABC14 R challenge-repeat. I repeated the Nuvo drops.

Great 50th card and wonderful take on the sketch too! Love your background and colors and technique you used as well. Fun idea for the repeat challenge too!

That SSS bloom looks fabulous with your bg technique. It's gorgeous -- and who doesn't like two-for-one. Your loving couple is great -- they really do look like they are in love. But it's those lips that caught my eye. Fun addition. Wonderful card for Franz and Maria's celebration.
