The Flower Challenge #26

Welcome to a new The Flower Challenge.  This month we'd like your card to be for a special occasion.  Mine is for an anniversary.
I started with my NBUS Sweet Peas from Altenew, stamping them on Bristol in VersaFine Gray and coloring with Zigs.  I used my NBUS Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot background from MFT to put behind them.  The sentiment is from HA and is heat embossed on Slate cs, not black like it looks in the photo. 

The Design Team has some beautiful cards to inspire you.  I hope you'll check them out and then make a special occasion card with a flower as the main focus.  We'd love to see you in the gallery.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm way behind on emails. NBUS stands for 'never before used stuff/stamps'. It's an acronym started by Darnell Knauss.
