Happy Anniversary (Hearts & Flowers)

A friend recently asked me to come up with a couple of anniversary card designs -- one for a friend's son, the other for the friend's daughters. This is the design I found for the daughters' cards.

Click on photo for closer look.

Many thanks to Amy Koenders (https://stampwithamyk.com/) for posting this design by Amy Struthers. My card is essentially the same, but with a few tweaks here and there.

This card uses all Stampin' Up! materials (with one tiny additional item) -- some current, some retired, some soon-to-be-retired, and even some soon-to-be-released!
