Today is our 12th Anniversary! I decided to try out a colour combo I fell in love with from one of RedDirtCrafter creations and am absolutely THRILLED with how it turned out!

Anniversary
It is my parents' 38th anniversary today and here is the card I made for them with the beautiful Petal Pusher die from The Greetery. My mom's bridesmaids wore blue, so I took out some Mermaid cardstock from Lawn Fawn. After diecutting and popping up just three of the flowers, I put a white card base behind.
I put together some more cards with my washi tape pieces that I cut out recently for a birthday card.
Each year for our anniversary, it is my intention to scrapbook what we do that day. I am a bit behind; however, this year I was determined to get back on track and complete our layout for this year right away!
Today is our 9th anniversary! I needed some anniversary cards for my stash, so I decided to follow Betsy's tutorial on The Greetery to create some sunset cards using the Reflections set.
I discovered this amazing combination of distress oxides the other day to create some beautiful hydrangeas with the Budding Beauties - Summer set from The Greetery. I used Salvaged Patina distress oxide and finger daubed in some Twisted Citron distress oxide. I used Chipped Sapphire for the petal details. For the stem of the hydrangea I used Rustic Wilderness and Twisted Citron again for the leaves. I paired this stem with another from the same set. I went for a pink peony by using Spun Sugar + Picked Raspberry distress oxide. Rustic Wilderness was used again for the stems and accented with Black Soot distress oxide.
I was asked to make a custom Paris-themed 40th anniversary card. The recipients were supposed to be celebrating their milestone anniversary this month in the City of Love, but of course like many things this year it was cancelled. This is a fully plantable card adhered together with a water-based adhesive from Studio Katia. I kept my colours mostly around the blue, white, and red of the France flag.
As I assembled this card I felt the background was a little sparse, so I found a beautiful older stamp set from Close To My Heart to add in some faint details in a light grey ink. I also used that same set to add some detail to the plantable envelope.
Paper: White, French Blue plantable wildflower seed paper (Botanical Paperworks)
Ink: Candied Apple, Aged Mahogany distress oxide (Tim Holtz); Outdoor Denim, Whisper (CTMH)
Stamps: Jardin (CTMH); Written in Ribbons (The Greetery)
Dies: Parisian (SU); Block Numbers (CTMH)
My friend surprised me with these gorgeous tulips last week and I couldn't help but be inspired by their colouring. I pulled out my set from The Greetery that had tulips in it and set out to recreate this colour combination.
It is my birthday and I was able to find some time to finish putting together this gorgeous floral card featuring some new products from The Greetery!
