Anniversary Card for My Grandson

This is a card I made for my grandson and his wife who celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary last Friday.



The cardstocks used are from my stash ( light blue 4 1/2 X 6 inches, dark blue 3 3/4 X 5 1/4 inches, white 3 1/2 X 5 inches). The corners were cut with the WRMK Scallop Corner Chromper. The layers of the card were adhered with Glue Glider Pro Perma Tac.

The stamp (Inkadinkado), Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink

Foulard embossing folder (Anna Griffin) set using the very pretty new teal Sizzix Big Shot machine.

Flowers (Fiskars punch) were cut from silver cardstock in my stash. Each flower was shaped with the Imaginisce Stylus. Two were adhered together using Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive then adhered to the card.  Magenta Pearls (Viva Pearl Pen) were added to the centers of each flower.

Scroll (3 1/2 inches Teresa Collins December 25th cartridge, Bazzill Cardstock) inked edge with Tombow Watercolor Marker. The sentiment was handwritten with a Zig Millenium Blue Pen.

Note: I have a stash of scrolls that were cut with the Cricut Expression using the Autofill feature.
