I have several Fall wedding anniversaries in our family so because of that I decided to make a slimline anniversary card using a stencil from Artplorations called Peeking Sunflowers. I just love this stencil and am so glad I bought it. I ordered mine in the heavier form so that it would withstand more harsh use. And, it is just perfect.
I added the Happy Anniversary die cut sentiment from Tonic Studios and also stamped a couple bees which were in a set I won from a Stamps of Life set called Jars 2. With a Bic pen I added some dots to the center of the sunflowers and I thought it sort of dressed it up a bit more. The inks I used were from Gina K. Designs and I used blending brushes to add the colors through the stencil.
I am entering this in the following:

Stamplorations Never Ending Challenge-Anything Goes
I just love working with stencils and I hope you like the project I did with this beautiful one. Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful day!
God bless,
Verna

beautiful blending you did on the sunflowers, Verna! always tickled to see STAMP products used to create stunning cards.
Super stunning card design, Verna! What autumnal colors! I was staring at the Happy Anniversary die cut, and what do you know? I have the same one that is on a magnetized lamp shade right next to my bed. I had used it and could not find the folder it came in, I think Spellbinders. LOL! It happens! And that you for the heads up on the digi sale!!!
