Black and White Anniversary - FMS #669

I'm up for another sketch challenge card, how about you?  Narelle Farrugia is the sketch designer for Freshly Made Sketches #669 this week.  And, what a great card she made!   

While you're checking out Narelle's and the rest of the FMS Design Team's  designs for this sketch, why not play along.  It's so easy.  Make a card, take a photo and upload it to their site no later than 3pm EST on Monday January 20th, 2025.   If you don't have a blog you can upload to your Facebook Page or Instagram.  Easy peasy!

Here's My Card: 

Supplies Used: 

Stamps and Dies:

Lifetime of Love #162574 and coordinating dies - Flowers and inside sentiment and die frame.

Love For You #160398 - Sentiment "Happy Anniversary"

Cardstock:

Whisper White:

• Cardbase 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• Inside Mat 3 7/8" x 5" 
• Scraps for embossed flower images on front 

Basic Black: 

• Front Mat - 4" x 5 1/4  Dry Embossed
• Front Mat - 3" x 4" 
• Inside Mat - 4" x 5 1/4" 

Gold Glimmer Paper: 

• Front Mat - 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"

Designer Paper:

• Mixed Media Florals - Memories & More - Black and White Floral card 3" x 4" 

Note:  Although I really liked the Mixed Media Florals suite, I really only wanted some floral images I could use quickly and inexpensively.  For $15.95 CDN I was able to purchased the Memories and More Pack, which is totally awesome.   It comes with thirty-six 3" x 4" cards, fourteen 4" x 6" cards and four sticker sheets - 2 each of 2 different designs.  

Ink and Embossing Powder:

• Momento Black 
• Versa Mark
• Gold Embossing Powder

 Accessories: 

• Layered Florals 3-D Embossing Folder #162395.  

I love how the inside of this card turned out.  The arched floral die from the Lifetime of Love dies was perfect for highlighting the beautiful sentiment stamp. Note:  because this die is so frail I used Self-Adhesive paper behind my black cardstock scrap.  It not only made cutting the image easier - all the bits just popped right out, but it also made it easy to adhere to the mat.   

Thanks for  dropping by and checking out this week's sketch challenge card.  The hardest part of this card was deciding which floral images I wanted to use and I'm happy that I chose the Lifetime of Love stamps and dies.  I originally only bought this bundle because I loved the dies, but after using the stamps I've decided I love them both.  

HAPPY STAMPING!
