Hello crafters! How's this for an anniversary card! I simply embossed a white background with my
Heart Lattice embossing folder and matted it with silver card. Then, I stamped the
Lace Oval Frame Background from Justrite several times and heat embossed them with
Silver Shine powder. Rather than using these as backgrounds, I cut them with the
Grand Oval dies to create off set rings. I didn't line the dies up so that I got an even oval frame, but rather, I pushed the dies closer together so they were almost touching on one side. This allowed me to create a sort of buckle card from them, with the fatter end of each oval showing more. I cut two slightly smaller and one larger size for the centre of my focal element. I stamped my sentiment on a strip of white card and embossed it in silver as well. I backed it with a mat of silver card too. I wove the end of it through the ovals and fanned them out. I taped it into place from the back then added a strip of mounting foam to it and attached it to my card. I tied a messy bow from
silver seam binding, added some thin metallic cord and white tulle to my bow and attached it to my card with glue dots. I finished the bow with a
small pearl embellishment and two
pearl stick pins. I decide that the two corners needed a bit of something so I glued all three sizes of our
flatback pearls in each corner for a subtle bit of bling. Of course, it wasn't finished without it's white double pierced mat. How about this one for a silver wedding anniversary! Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
I bet you thought I forgot.... no, just keeping you in suspense (naughty, aren't I! LOL) The winner of the card giveaway from Monday's post is Magpie (Karen)!!! Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to claim your prize! I'll do another card giveaway next week after I return from Ally Pally. I do hope to see a whole bunch of you there! All for now, Sue x
