ANNIVERSARY is the setting for what you'll see during this month's Kre8tors Blog Hop!  Many of us need ideas for these special celebrations that happen once a year so I am sure you will get your creativity boosted from this talented bunch of Kre8tors.  Relax and enjoy a cuppa while you gather some inspiration as you peruse along the hop!

There is nothing like late summer when it comes to sunflowers.  Having always been a "bush" loving flower kinda of girl (azaleas, camellias, gardenias, hydrangeas, peonies, roses, etc.), I quickly began falling for these giant blossoming stalks when my brother would send his yearly pictures of my nieces standing amongst the blooms.  So it's only fitting that for an upcoming anniversary that I would pull out the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set!

Remembering a September wedding from several years ago... the sunflower would be the perfect backdrop for this couple holding hands. The Embrace Each Moment stamp set contains this amazing image that can be used for so many occasions.

The sunflower was stamped in Night of Navy along the corners of a focal piece of Whisper White cardstock.  The layers were created before the coloring began... and I must admit that I was so tempted to leave the sunflowers as they were gorgeously elegant on the classic navy and white layering.  The hands were framed with one of my favorite Tasteful Labels dies.  The sentiment was heat embossed in white on Night of Navy to bring focus to the hands.  The Pinewood Planks embossed background adds to the rustic, outdoorsy feel of the sunflowers.

Thinking fall, the sunflowers were colored with an autumn hue so one would technically call them hybrid sunflowers... the disc florets were colored with Light/Dark Soft Suede Stampin' Blends while the ray florets were colored with Light/Dark Daffodil Delight, Dark Mango Melody, Light Cinnamon Cider and Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends.

A touch of Linen Thread along with a Fancy Linen Bow was the finishing touch to card.

The inside is just as important as the card front!  The layers were replicated along with the sunflower leaving plenty of room to write a personal note to the recipient couple.  And do not forget to stamp the envelope before cleaning it off and putting it away.
