Anniversary Challenge #52 for Speedy's Friends

It's an anniversary for Speedy the Cat's Friends Blog Challenge. One fabulous year of great card making and many lucky winners of stamps sets and the opportunity to be featured stamper. You won't want to miss the fun and the opportunity to win a new stamp set. The challenge is to make an anniversary card. I used two of Mark's Finest Papers' sets for this card: Hearts Hearts Hearts and Just Dandy. I stamped the heart with angel pink ink and the dandilion I colored onto the stamp with Stampin' Up markers: melon mambo and certainly celery. The pink did not show up as nicely as I had hoped it would so I punched these little flowers out with a Creative Memories mini punch. Sometimes things turn out better when you mess up. I always try to convince stampers that mistakes are only opportunities to get MORE creative. I thought this card would be very pleasing to the CAS fans since this is a single layered card that is mostly white. I used some terrific white cardstock that is fabulously thick from Mark's Finest Papers as well.
