THANK YOU for stopping by to enjoy our

October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

featuring this month's SOTM:

With All My Love S2010

If you've just arrived here from

STEFANI's BLOG

then you are on the correct path.

Today I'm sharing the standard-size anniversary card

I made for my husband. I'm a tad early, lol. Jose and I will

be celebrating 26 years of married life on December 17th!

When I saw this stamp set, I immediately knew that it

would be perfect for making our anniversary card this year.

Back in 1994, we chose Red and Black for our wedding

colors, so I also chose to use (similar colors)...

using the NEW Comfort and Joy paper packet (X7261S)

with our NEW Wood Grain papers (X8017)

that I absolutely LOVE so so much!!

I also wanted to show you that you really can use

this Christmas-themed paper collection in a

NON-Christmas-y way!!

My stamping was done with Archival Black ink, and the

coloring done with (NEW Deep Blends) Yellow Green and

Vintage Blue TriBlend markers from Spectrum Noir.

I also used a clear Versamark ink pad with white embossing

powder to heat emboss "Happy Anniversary" on Scarlet

cardstock. Can you see how I also used fussy cutting and

paper-piecing technique to make my largest flowers

"pop" using the Scarlet red patterned paper? Finally,

I embellished with (also a NEW favorite!) White

Flower Sequins (Z3872) with small Black Dots

used for their centers (Z3314).
