I had tried to make a 50th Wedding Anniversary card for some dear friends and really, really didn't like what came out. So, while on the retreat, I tried again and this is what happened. I used a "picture my life" type card from the paper pack for the focal piece on the front of the card. In fact - the gray scallops are also one of those awesome cards! With a couple of mats, and a piece of patterned vellum from the Home Fundamental paper pack, the front was looking classy.
For the inside I actually got to stamp something! I used stamps from the "I Do" set - Close-to-My-Heart and still current, I believe! I love this set and know I'll be using it for a long time. Instead of a wedding cake topper, I used numbers from one of the alphabet stamp sets (retired) and Saffron ink to resemble gold. All this was stamped onto a piece of design paper from the Hello Lovely paper pack that looks like linen. The card base is Glacier cardstock. So - I am much happier and it's just in the nick of time!

Beautiful work, Sharli! Way to make those supplies work FOR you! The front of the card is absolutely lovely and I really like that great cake inside. The 50 on top is super clever. Well done! Hugs!
