TMS207 ~ Happy 40th Anniversary ~

Good morning! So glad you could stop by and visit for a bit! Today I have a project based on a sketch found at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I needed a 40th anniversary card and while doing color research, found out ruby red is the traditional color for your 40th! Who knew? So with a sketch and a color scheme in mind, I went to work.

I created a ruby red card stock base with a layer of white and a die cut red decorative layer. I stamped my image in black and colored each heart with my trusty Copics. I added a bit of glitter glue to each heart for shine. After cutting out my image, I matted it with red CS also and added it to my card base. You know how I love flowers, right? Well... I had to add a few on the bottom corner! ;-) A few die cut and paper punched sprigs with lush roses fit the bill.

I didn't stop there! I used a couple of Our Daily Bread Designs recent stamp releases to embellish the inside along with a couple of darling die cut birds. I can't wait to present this to the lovely couple! I hope you like it and as always thanks for stopping by!

I have a couple of cards for you this time including one with some (ahem) non-traditional wedding colors. My step-son and his fiancé are getting married Sunday July 7th and our grandson to be picked the colors. Since Jake is all about a certain tractor brand... we will have a distinct green and yellow color scheme.... How can I tell the little guy I prefer New Holland blue???? :-)

Love Scriptures

And then there is this card featuring gold embossing on black card stock. A very simple scheme but elegant nonetheless. I embossed the doves on a separate piece and fussy cut the image before adding to the top of the faux cake. It adds just a bit of dimension and makes the entire cake appear to "pop" off the page....
