Happy Anniversary

I had another chance to play just for fun this afternoon.  I mean, I need an anniversary card for my in-laws' anniversary coming up this week, but I didn't have any DT responsibilities that had to be finished, so I got to play with whatever stamps I wanted to.  It's so fun when that happens.  I pulled out this Fiskars set to use and then realized that I already had three of the flowers colored and cut out, sitting in my bits and pieces stash.  All I had to do was stamp, color and cut out the stems.

 I used my scor-pal to score a rectangle in the lower right corner; a way to set off the flowers without adding extra layers.  Then, I glued the stems in place and adhered the flowers with  foam tape for dimension.  I heat embossed the sentiment onto black card stock (the strip was already cut for me) and adhered it with foam tape as well.  Then I finished everything off with some gold sequins.

 Here is the inside of the card:

I had one flower that didn't seem to fit on the outside, so I adhered in on the inside with the sentiment.

Stamps: Fiskars "Flowers Sketched"; MFT "Essential Sentiments" and Sweet n' Sassy Stamps "Anniversary Innies" inside sentiment
