STAMPIN' UP! ALPHABEST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CARD

 My share today is the card I made for my son and daughter-in-law, who this week have been married for 3 years.  On this simple card, I managed to use three stamp sets!

The Alphabest bundle was perfect for customising this card.  I stamped the leafy labels in Pear Pizzazz ink on Basic White card, then stamped the number and letters in Memento Tuxedo Black ink over the top.  The co-ordinating punch was used to cut them out.  The "congratulations" is from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set, and was stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink, using the Stamparatus to allow me to stamp it several times for good ink saturation.  I cropped this sentiment with a Stitched Rectangle Die.

The tiny hearts, cut from Pear Pizzazz and Basic Black card, were created with an Around the Bend Die.

After embossing the top Thick Basic White card panel with a Basics 3D embossing folder, I cut a Deckled Rectangle window.  A Delicate Edges Die was used to create the leafy border, from Thick Basic White card (I added Adhesive Sheet to the back before cutting, to make it easy to adhere this piece).

This photo shows all the lovely texture.

Before gluing down the embossed frame, I stamped (directly onto the Thick Basic White card base) the leafy Decorative Borders image in Pear Pizzazz ink, using my Stamparatus.  I then coloured the leaves with the Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Marker.

Once the top layer of the card had been added, I added some Basic White flowers created with another Around The Bend Die.  A black Classic Matte Dot was added to the centre of the middle flower.
