Special Anniversary Card using Willow Tree

This month is my daughter’s wedding anniversary and I decided to make a card using the Willow Tree Stamp Set.

 
 

She was married at a winery in Upstate NY under a willow tree so there is special meaning to it. She had a picture of her and her dad, who passed a way a few years earlier, under the tree. The picture was of her in her wedding dance costume dancing with her Dad at a dance recital on Father’s Day. We never realized years later how important that picture would become.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Early Espresso Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White Cardstock - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4, cut using the largest Scalloped Contours Dies.

  • Stamp the sentiment with Garden Green Ink at the bottom of the scalloped layer.

  • Stamp tree with Early Espresso and leaves with Garden Green Ink.

  • Stamp ground with Early Espresso Ink, stamping off first to get a lighter shade.

  • Cut 3 hearts from Real Red Cardstock using the Sweet Hearts Dies and adhere to card.

  • Add a Hearts Pearl to the center of each heart.

 
 

On the inside stamp the sentiment with Early Espresso Ink and the greenery with Garden Green Ink. I used the Forever Fern Stamp Set because I liked the sentiment and thought the leaves went with the willow tree.
