I used the Stampin’ Up! stamp set called Timeless Love to create an anniversary card to share with you today.

My card design was inspired by Retrosketches #175.

I started by adhering a panel of Pink Pirouette DSP from the Subtles DSP Stack to a panel of Whisper White card stock with SNAIL.  Then I cut a wide banner from Whisper White card stock using my Stampin’ Trimmer and I embossed it with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder (available Sept 1).

I adhered the banner to the layered panel with SNAIL, then tied a bow with Basic Black 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon around the panel.  I adhered the panel to a Thick Whisper White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the flower image and sentiment from the Timeless Love stamp set in Basic Black Archival Ink (available Sept 1), then used my Blender Pen to color in the flowers with Pink Pirouette, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz inks.  I cut the sentiment out with an Ovals Collection Framelits Die and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I colored a White Perfect Accents embellishment with a black Sharpie Marker, then adhered it next to the sentiment to finish the card front.

I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Love stamp set in Pink Pirouette on a panel of Whisper White card stock inside the card.
