Anniversary Wreath

Surprise, I do not have a Christmas card today. I have a request for four anniversary cards for a friend’s children so I’m starting on those with a new-to-me stamp by Hero Arts called “Flower Wreath”.   The card features pretty die cuts and easy Copic coloring with the wreath cut out and popped up and pearls courtesy of an Ice White Viva Décor pearl pen.

Any dies that look like a garden are okay by me, which is why I’m loving my Impression Obsession Fancy Cut Out Border and Poppystamps Dianna Border.   To emphasize the “love” aspect of this card I dangled some Memory Box Precious Hearts from the top of the wreath.    Precious Hearts is a two-die set.   I simply cut both and put them together.  Aren’t they cute?   The Dianna Border and Precious Hearts were colored with Copics.

The sentiment is from the retired Stampin’ Up! “Wonderful Words”.  I never give up a sentiment set, and just look how pretty it still is after all these years.

I don't have much in the way of anniversary sentiments and most of the ones I do have are smallish, so inside I used framing to make a small sentiment look bigger on this 5 1/2" square card.  Enter one of my most frequently used die sets,  Impression Obsession Rectangle 6-in-1 Frames:

I dangled the smaller of the hearts with another faux pearl in the center of the bow.  All finished and so much fun!
