Welcome
I made this card some months ago, and had it on my file which I have with me in hospital... yes the 'bug' I had was not what the family had, but rather a massive chest infection.... but I am starting to recover!!
I started with a Brusho background on watercolour paper that I made one day when playing with them
I stamped the love birds and flower spray from a freebie magazine set, and coloured with watercolours.
I tried to stamp the floral spray directly onto the background, but messed up, hence it is stamped on white and fussy cut.... The sentiment was also from the set.
I cut the image with a hexagon from an infinity set by Hero Arts, and mounted it over dark green
From memory I also used some Brushos Pearl SprinkleIT powder, which shows here as a slightly deeper green, but in real life, it sparkled beautifully.
I ran a deep green ink panel around the edge of the main panel which was mounted over a dark green base
I used an old anniversary stamp on the inside, and a snippet of the background paper cut into a banner shape, and edged in the same deep green ink.

I love the soft colour Maxine.

Just beautiful Maxine. Take care.... I had a bad chest infection in June that had me off work for nearly two weeks... luckily not hospitalised like you.
A lovely card Maxine, a sweet image and pretty background.
I hope you are on the mend and able to go home soon.

Cute anniversary card Maxine 😊
Such a lovely card and i do like how you have matched the colouring of the love birds to the background card. It makes the whole card cohesive.
Sorry to hear you ended up in hospital, hope the treatment has worked for you.
Sending healing thoughts and prayers
