My Sister and her hubby are celebrating their 35th Anniversary in a couple days, she has received the card early so I can share it now. I cut out 5 of these flowers so I would have an odd number that we are told is more pleasing to the eye, but I just couldn't get it to look right, and using just 3 looked a bit lopsided so I went with adding 3 small flowers and hoped that even number would work. I first cut the wreath out. Cut the vellum sentiment with a circle die, then added the flowers with stickles for the centers of the little flowers and pen dots for the big flowers with inking in the center of the flowers too.
The background is one I had made on my gelli plate and was waiting for just the right card to use it and I thought it worked perfect for this one. The card is an A6 size card.
- Spellbinders - Sunflower set 2 die, inked the centers and added pen dots
- Hot off the press - Wreath die
- EK Success - flower punch with stickle centers
- Gelli plate background used inks and embossing folders
- JoAnn - 60 Quotes and Sentiments vellum sheets

Happy Anniversary to your sister and her husband. This is such a darling card. You really made a nice wreath, showing us that odd numbers don't always have to be done. Your set of 4's look great! Nice gelliplate background too. Have a great day and enjoy your weekend!

Happy anniversary to your sister and her hubby for 35 years of wedded bliss. I love the dimension on the flowers you added. Great framing on the wonderful sentiment.
When it's a wreath maybe it doesn't matter so much because I think this looks super pretty, Connie!
