The Design Team had to use one of the new 2013 ATC Florals. I want to encourage you to take a look at these florals as they are quite beautiful.  I chose Stylish Tulips Silhouette and stamped them in Valentine Shades Dye Ink .  The layers are die cut with Cheery Lynn's Card Makers Rectangle A2  and Card Makers Scallop Rectangle A2.  The greeting, Tiny Happy Birthday was stamped with Tuxedo Black Momento Ink . I decided to use my Score It to emboss a frame around the card base.  The lined are embossed at 1/4".  This is so 'Simple' and I haven't used this technique in forever!! The Dew Drops are from my stash. The adhesive I used is Great Tape.  The finished size of the card is  4.25 x 5.50".

This was a very difficult card to photograph.  I began with a frame, Scroll Scissors Frame which I stamped using White Dye Ink  on Vellum.  The frame was heat embossed with White Fine Detail EP .

This frames cuts easily using the Seagull Decorative Edge Scissors .  I dry embossed the frame using the following tools: Etching/Embossing Mat , and   Soft Grip Stylus Tools .   I inked up the image Antique Dancing Couple with Shades Stormy Gray Dye Ink in the center of the frame.  I wanted to create this card with grays, black and white.  I wasn't happy with all the white around the couple so I airbrushed the backside of the frame with Copics T4 marker.  That was perfect.  I added a very minimal color to the image.  The greeting is Happy Anniversary  stamped with Distress Ink Clear Embossing Pad  and heat embossed with White Fine Detail EP.  The pearls were created with Pearl Pens . 

Other Sweet Stamps Product used:  Vellum Adhesive Spray and Great Tape.

 The finished size of the card is 5" x 7".
