Vicki is our hostess in the Color Challege this week, and she has asked us to make a card using Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, and Emerald Envy. The dessert option this week is to have a bird on your card. I get double dessert this week!
When I saw this stamp last January in the Stampin' Up! SAB brochure, I knew I had to have it and had to wait until now to use it. This is an anniversary card for my daughter and son-in-law. They will celebrate their 25th anniversary this month, and they have a tandem bike. This week's colors are perfect for this card—Cathy's favorite color is turquoise, and the red hearts do a great job symbolizing love.
I used an Emerald Envy stamp pad to sponge ink onto a piece of white cardstock, cut the grass panel, and adhered it onto the bike panel. I must say I love my MISTI, but for a 2- or 3-step image, it doesn't do the job for me. It was back to my trusty old Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for perfect placement of the basket, hearts and birds. A tool for every job!
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!

Oh, Barbara, what a beautiful anniversary card for your daughter and son-in-law! I love the tandem bicycle (they are fun), and all the other gorgeous elements on your card! The sentiment is especially beautiful.

This is so sweet, Barbara! And how perfect that your daughter and son-in-law have a tandem bike, and that you're daughter's favorite color is turquoise - such a perfect card for them!

I love this fun, summery card! I just got a new bike and the first thing I did was add a wicker basket like that, it just looked like too cool of an accessory to pass up
