Happy Hibiscus, Cake Celebrations, Anniversary Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have an anniversary card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Peach Pie card stock and taped it to the card base.

Next I took a piece of Basic White card stock and die cut 3 squares using the smallest stitched square in the "Stylish Shapes" set. 

Behind the squares is a piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Bloom Impressions" 12" x 12" package. This is a Sale-a-Bration item.

I taped the Basic White piece to the front of the card.

Next I cut the flower using the die and the embossing folder from the "Happy Hibiscus" bundle. Using my Blending Brushes I scrubbed on some Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie ink. I did color the center in using my light Cajun Craze Blends pen. 

Using the same "Happy Hibiscus" bundle I cut two leaves from Basic White card stock. I colored them in using both light and dark Granny Apple Green Blends pens. I glued the leaves to the back of the flower. Dimensionals were added to the back of the flower and leaves and they were set in place on the center of the squares.

The words are from the "Cake Celebrations" bundle and were stamped using Granny Apple Green ink. I cut them out using a die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I also cut a Peach Pie card stock piece. I cut this piece in half and taped each half to the edges of the word piece. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.  And the card was done.

This was a super easy card to make. I think I want to make some more Hibiscus flower and color them with the Blending Brushes. I had colored some before using the Blends Pens but it took away some of the detail from the flower. I like the way this flower looks. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's anniversary card,
Wanda
