Tri Shutter Anniversary Card

I created this card a while ago, but could not post it until I had given it to our son and daughter-in-law for their anniversary, as she visits my blog!  I used THIS tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers to make this card.  It looks complicated, but is quite easy.

The purple piece is covering what I wrote in it, I forgot to take the picture before!  Here is a close up of the left hand blue piece:

I love the fact that Stampin' Up! is coming out with a new product (sorry can't reveal it till July 1st, but I used a non SU one on this page, can you tell what it is?????

I used lots of retired and retiring and returning stuff on this card. The card is Baja Breeze (returning as of July 1st), the designer paper is Urban Oasis (retired) and Walk In The Park (retired).  Also used was Whisper White an Basic Black cardstock,Wide Oval punch.  Stamp set was Yummy (retired) - (the black piece behind the sentiment - I stamped it with white on black and cut it out, then I just used the reverse side).  I used more of the non SU can't mention items on the flowers on the front of the card.  The saying is Whimsical Words (retired).

Thanks for visiting, I'll be  back the next few days sharing with you some cards I cased, and was inspired by to showcase the new colours available July 1st!

UPDATE: sorry forgot the link to Dawn Olchefske's tutorial for the Pansies.
