Anniversary with Cherry Blossom

Hey crafty friends - Over the Memorial Day weekend I plunged head first into some crafty sales and received a bunch of orders very quickly. What exceptional service from Sunny Studio, Lawn Fawn & Unity, especially given the holiday!! I started with some new purchases from LF and Unity and will get to new Sunny later. I included a favorite Sunny cherry blossom set for this anniversary card though:

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;

Paper Studio A2 card; scraps of green and pale blue patterns by unk

Stamps with coordinating dies - Unity I Did. I Do. I Will.

Sunny Studio Cherry Blossoms

Dies - Lawn Fawn Quilted Heart Backdrop: Portrait

Hero Arts Autumn Bouquet

I die cut Lawn Fawn's backdrop and adhered it to a red A2 card - easy red hearts without having to inlay anything! Plus I have a lot of bitty blue hearts for future projects! Next I stamped and die cut the Unity sentiment - just love the jumbo Anniversary with the small Happy, which cuts together with one die. Unity has been adding more coordinating dies and I love that! I stacked 3 for dimension and added a pink shadow. I popped on a cherry blossom with a couple of leaves from my stash - done!

This one's going to my friends Deb & Dave. I tend to use the rosy pinks for their anniversary card because that was the color of my bridesmaid dress in their wedding. I really loved that dress! We bridesmaids had no complaints about the color, style, or price tag, plus a friend was able to borrow the dress for a formal event  she attended. Then the dress went to one of those shops where girls can get used dresses for prom - win, win!

I'll add this card to Darnell's June NBUS Challenge since my backdrop die and sentiment are new. Now I just have to get to the other new stuff I ordered, plus from the NBUS mountains around here...

Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful day!!
