I've been adding to my stash of anniversary cards recently and here's one made with an old wooden stamp by Anita's Sugarloaf, Inc that I've had for ages. I stamped it with Versamark and heat-embossed it with white ep, then sponged some Pistachio distress ink all over the image. I had a negative cut from a Mama Elephant Park Avenue Framed Tag die, and used it to frame this image before placing it on some DCWV script designer paper. I found an old snippet of some black velvet ribbon which I added to the top left, along with a SU! heat-embossed sentiment done on a Lil Inker stitched die cut banner. I was going to add some Nuvo drops but I thought I'd leave it alone as I liked it just the way it is.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
(I used the middle horizontal row. Pistachio is a pretty mix of blue & green, right?)

Gorgeous Carol, gosh do I like that fresh minty green combined with the black... it's very elegant and the result is a very sophisticated Anniversary card x
This is Gorgeous Carol, you didn't need anything else (in my mind), love the text background and the little bow.

Very pretty, Carol. Great job on the challenges.
Yes, it's a mix of blue and green - and beautiful too! I love your card so much and glad you didn't add the nuvo drops too. It's pretty just as is! What a beautiful image too. LOVE IT!

So beautiful with the water colored background and the white embossed image. I like the pattern paper and negative cut frame too.
It's very elegant!! Love the background and the frame with the black bow! It compliment so well the banner and the beautiful rose!

So beautiful, Carol! I love this technique and how your card tuned out! The Pistachio looks amazing against the black printed paper and makes that flower pop even more! Great job and TFS! :)

Ooo! The mint green and black combo is quite pretty! Anita’s Sugarloaf isn’t the same as Anita’s stamps, is it? If not, i haven’t heard of that company!
Oooo . . . this is beautiful!! I love the pop of pistachio against the black and white; so elegant!! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
