Happy Anniversary

Hi Bloggers.

Today I'm sharing a card that I've made for my Mom & Dad for their Anniversary which is later this week.


It's only a small card - just 12cm square but it seemed appropriate as I wanted the sentiment to be the focal point.

The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley which I stamped in Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I added a bit of colour with Summer Haze Cosmic Shimmer Drawing Ink. I cut it out using a circle nestie and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I cut a Spellbinders Picot Edged Circle from purple card and mounted the sentiment on to it.

I cut some leaves out of the Spellbinders Foliage Die Set. I inked through the die on the lighter card with Dusty Concord.

I made a flower using the Spellbinders Spiral Blossom and some felt that I bought from Sam Poole Creative Studios.

I tied a tatty bow using two lengths of Violet Vintage Ribbon.

I assembled the card as shown. The paper is from Polka Doodles Sundae of Seasons. I finished the card off with a couple of  Creative Expressions Decorative Stick Pins in White Pearl and added a purple gem in each corner.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges -
Sparkles Challenge - Anything But Christmas
Make It Monday #68

Hope you like the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
