I started with Blackberry Bliss for the
cardbase and then added a piece of Gold
Foil Vellum (backed with Whisper White cardstock). I stamped the “Happy Anniversary” greeting
from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set
using Versamark Ink and heat embossed
it with the Heat Tool and Basic Black Embossing Powder. When I was embossing it I noticed that the
gold foil in the stripes started bubbling up for a rough effect which I really
liked so I used my Heat Tool to add
this effect to all the stripes. Next I
added a strip of Basic Black cardstock then then layered a piece of Gold Satin Ribbon on top.
For the greeting I decided to go to one of my
favorites Yippee-Skippee (so sad
it’s retiring) since it has this great say “Never Underestimate the Power of
Two”. During our relationship we’ve had
lots of ups and downs but through it all we’ve worked as a team to solve
problems, achieve goals, whatever it was and it has really helped us before
stronger as a couple. Anyway, back to
the card, I stamped the greeting in Versamark
and used Gold Embossing Powder and
the Heat Tool to emboss the image
before punching it out with the 2” Circle
Punch. I created a mat using some
Blackberry Bliss cardstock, Big Shot,
and the Window Collection Framelits
(also retiring so don’t miss out on these).
I wanted to add some texture to the mat so I embossed it using the Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder and Big Shot. Dimensionals
help the greeting piece stand up over the flag pieces perfectly for extra
dimension.
I
love how elegant this card turned out with the gold, purple, and black perfect
for a milestone event (and it’s definitely not girly!!) can’t wait to give it
to Chris and see what he thinks.
