I loved both these images - especially the funky leaves. I cut the hibiscus (flower3) at 3-1/2" and the leaves at 1-1/2". Be sure to cut all the layers because that shadow layer really makes these images pop - especially on the leaves. I first made the leaves without the shadow and after looking at it, added it and it really made a difference.
I used My Creative Time's Many Greetings stamp set for the "Happy Anniversary" stamp.
I used Warm Red chalk ink to ink the inside edges of the flower petals and also around the entire outside. I grew up in Florida and we had loads of hibiscus flowers in the yard and I remembered that they always had a deep red inside. See below:
As you can see below, I added in the shadow to the leaves and even though it is slight, it still made a big difference.
A pink liner finishes off the inside of the card nicely. I can't wait to get this in the mail to them. True confession: I am late with this card - whoops! I am hoping they won't mind...
