Special Anniversary Moment

The challenge this week at A La Card Monkey was to create a card to celebrate a special moment. Friends of mine are celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary - that seemed pretty momentous to me. Following the sketch:

I came up with this card:


The Twitterpated DSP is mounted on SU cardstock - I'm not sure what the color name is, it's some kind of lavender. One of the Four Frames is stamped in Basic Gray and punched with the decorative label punch. I used the Sizzix Decorative label die for the background. I didn't have a "Happy Anniversary" stamp that would fit within the frame, so I hand-wrote the greeting. I finished the card off with a scallop die, lavender silk ribbon and pearls.

By the way, A La Card Monkey is getting close to challenge #100 - I hear there's blog candy to be had.
