Rocky Mountain Columbine

Here is the 50th wedding anniversary card I made for my brother and his wife. He lives in Colorado and I wanted to include the state flower - The Rocky Mountain Columbine. I just love the Stately Flower sets by Melanie Mueschinger. I have all 12 set, therefore every state flower. Included in the stamps are stamps of the names of the states and the names of the flowers.This makes it possible to stamp these onto the card as I did on the inside of this card.

I used two different embossing folders and heat embossed with gold to make the butterflies and the sentiment.

Here is a picture of the Rocky Mountain Columbine, which I used while coloring the flower.

Black-Eyed Susan

I received an announcement for a 50th wedding anniversary today. I made this card to send. I used Melanie Muenchinger's "Stately Flowers 9" and Gina K's "Sending Love" stamp sets to make this card. I used Copic markers to color the black-eyed Susans. The butterfly and sentiment are heat embossed in gold.
