Blogger Challenge: Week 171/Friends with Flair

*** Scroll down to the post below to see my Clear and Simple Stamps October release project.***

This week’s blogger challenge is to create an anniversary card. I used the colors from this week’s Curtain Call Color Challenge to create my non-traditional card with a clean and simple style.

I used an image and matching sentiment from Unity’s December Stampin’ Store Kit, {sweet affections}, for my image panel. The tree stump is paper pieced from a scrap of Soft Suede cardstock and the heart’s paper pieced from a red scrap. I used some foam tape to attach the heart to the stump for a nice pop. The sentiment is stamped in red directly on the cream panel

To keep my sweet little scene center stage, I kept my layout simple. The image panel runs the width of the card. I bordered it with narrow black strips to set it off from the Sahara Sand card base. A strip of red crepe ribbon runs down the cardfront. I used my Bow Easy to make a matching bow to add at the top of the image panel.
