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.

Floral Anniversary Card

What to do with all the small pieces of scrap paper in my stash? Well, I bought a Fiskars flower punch and made a large quantity of flowers while watching TV.

The 4 X 6 card is made from green cardstock I had in my stash. I embossed vellum (Emagination Crafts) with the Anna Griffin Rosa embossing folder using the Sizzix Big Shot. The flower petals were given a lifted character by rubbing the center of the each flower with the rounded ball of an embossing stylus. Then I adhered two flowers together using Scotch Quick Dry adhesive for each blossom.
