Handmade Love Birds Card

My spring card making season is in full swing. I made this anniversary card yesterday for a special couple who will be celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary next week.

This is how I made the card:

1. I started with a blank kraft card that measures 5" by 6.5".

2. The pink background cardstock is from "Que Sera Sera" paper pack from K & Company. This is a double-sided cardstock and I used the reverse green side to diecut the circle.

3. I chose the digital stamp "Lovebirdz" from Mo's Digital Pencil for this card. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I love the vibrant colors that I get from these water-based markers. I fussy cut the image and used glue dots to attach it to the green background.

4. I used the Spellbinders die "Floral Corner 2" to make the embellishment under the green circle. The floral embellishment was cut from the same paper as the circle. 

5. I made the "Happy Anniversary" sentiment with a Dymo Label Buddy embossing label maker.

I am entering this card in the 613 Avenue Create Challenge #208.
