Creative Crew - April Holiday Focus

Here is my next creative crew project.

If you would like to join the challenge here is the info - CCREW0412HF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM -- Holiday Focus
Mom and Dad, Mum and Dad, Mom or Dad. Remember those that gave us life. Make a card, a scrapbook page or a decor item that honors Mom or Dad or both. Continue using the In Colors as your main colors.

I wanted to create a card for my Mom and Dad and since their anniversary is just around the corner. I used the set Elements of Style which is perfect for an anniversary card especially the sentiment "Life is a matter of Moments". I used concord crush since that was their color when they were married and then I paired it with pear pizzazz. I embossed the concord piece with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder. I watercolored the flowers to give it the shades as well as added a bit of shimmer paint to make it sparkle just a bit. I think they will love this card!! Happy Stamping!

Beautiful Carmen! I love the purple colors. I didn't think to use this as an anniversary set but you were right, it is perfect for this occasion. Your watercoloring is just dreamy.

So pretty, Carmen! Love the way you "softened" the Concord Crush with the watercoloring for the flowers.
