Hello stamping friends, welcome back.  Today, I went back to one of my FAVORITE stamp sets FIFTH AVENUE FLORAL (page 98).  I also broke into a new package of Designer Series Paper, Page 11 of the  Holiday Mini Catalog NIGHT AND DAY SPECIALTY.  Don't let the fact that it is displayed on a Halloween page fool you.  I needed a 40th Anniversary card for Ian's Aunt and Uncle and as she is also a beautiful card maker, it had to be absolutely over the top.  So it is!.
Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp Set - Diva Card So, you KNOW I had to hand paint the rose with my reinkers and my aqua painter, then I cut it out, using dimensionals to attach it to the art layer for the card.

Here is the challenge
Diva challenge #145

And here are the measurements, as I saw them for this card.

Card – Basic Black 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
Mat – Cameo Coral 4 x 5-1/4
Night and Day DSP – 3-7/8 x 5-1/8

Long skinny strip on left, the DSP is 1 x 4-3/4, mat is 1-1/8 x 4-7/8

Strip across the bottom in the background is Whisper White Satin Ribbon 5/8 inch, with the So Saffron thin ribbon from the Elementary pac over top.

The DSP under the rose is 2-3/4 square with the Cameo Coral mat under it is 2-7/8 square.

Happy Anniversary is from the TEENY TINY WISHES stamp set (page 145) and the ovals are the LARGE OVAL PUNCH AND THE WIDE OVAL PUNCH both found on page 186.

and yes Sharon, I did the inside again, LOLFifth avenue floral - inside

WHY?

  •  - because it's really hard to write on a black card.
  • - It's an anniversary card so I didn't want it all black.
  • - the front of the card is heavy (6 layers), so I needed some ballast on the back,

Ok, so now it's your turn.  Head on over to
DIVA COFFEE BREAK DESIGNS
copy the design and get to some creating.  Don't forget to go back when your done and post your card to share with us.
