This is one of those cards that works for so many occasions--thank you, birthday, thinking of you . . . I love having a few of these kinds of cards in my stash.
Anemones are one of my favorite flowers. We tried twice in the last year to grow some, but most of the bulbs were dug up and eaten by some little critter before they ever broke through the ground. I have to settle on a couple of stamp sets and this beautiful die from Honey Bee. I die cut it twice--once with light blue paper and once with a dark purple (the bottom layer of the flower.) I opted for metallic silver die cut leaves and added some light purple ink to the centers of the flower layers.
I also die cut the arch from Ellen Hutson's Essential Arches two times once to get the layer for the sentiment and once for the frame. Those Essential dies are some of my most used-sometimes I layer them and sometimes I just use the frames. The sentiment is from an older Pretty Pink Posh sentiment set, Thoughtful Greetings.
The Time Out Challenge this week is to create a friendship or encouragement card in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness. I'm also adding this to The Flower Challenge: Use a Sentiment and Happy Little Stampers: Dies-Anything Goes.
