So here is an Anniversary card I made.  It was sooo complex and took me a few hours to get finished, even if it looks pretty simple!! 

I started out by stamping the smallest dots from Polka Dot Basics onto some vanilla cardstock using Tea Dye (Distress Inks) ink.  Then I did some stitiching around the panel with my sewing machine and some tan thread.  I added that to a white mat.  Then, I created my focal piece.  The flower (from smARTworks) was stamped and cut out.  I colored it with ink and Copic markers.  Adhered that to the oval, added the eyelet and hemp.  The rectangle focal piece is popped up on dimensionals!

The picture doesn't do a great job of sharing the true colors (I still need to buy better lights for my photo box).  The actually colors are a soft yellow, peachy pink, white, and kraft.  They look quite pretty in real life. 

Hope you are all enjoying your week.   I have an official count down until I'm done work.  Just 5 work days to go.  Woooohooooo!!!!
