Happy Anniversary Card by Bonnie Garby

Hi friends.  Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft sharing a lovely spring themed anniversary card featuring the new Mehndi Botanicals 3 die set from Cheery Lynn Designs.

I started with an A2 top fold card base made with white cardstock.  I stamped my sentiment on the bottom of the card base and used the Curved Border set to create the layered background for the top portion of the card.

Cheery Lynn Dies used:

B864 Mehndi Botanicals 3 Set

B569 Curved Border Set

I created the papers that I used for the flower and leaves using several colors of distress inks and I then spritzed it with water to create some visual interest.  I cut the flower layers and inked the edges of the petals.  I then used a stylus and foam pad to shape the petals and leaves before assembling the flower.  The center was finished off with a 12mm dotted wave rhinestone from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

My card was then topped off with a pretty bi-color double loop bow made with Tropic and Light Coral Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope I've inspired you to pull out one of your Cheery Lynn flower dies and create a pretty spring themed card.  Happy crafting!
