Anniversary Card

Hi Everyone!! Hand's up - who *ISN'T* playing along at CARDS Magazine's Monochromatic Challenge??? No hands up from the PTI forum? I didn't think so LOL! :0)

I thought we had until tomorrow to submit - but according to the chatter, today's the day - screeeeeeeeeeech! That would be me making a mad dash for the submission deadline! I have been thinking about this card most of this week, but suddenly lost a few hours to execute it!!

Apart from yellows (such a close relative to my scheme anyway) this has to be my favourite monochromatic palette ever - white and cream!

I used a floral embossing folder from Provo Craft for the background and gave it some extra love with a shower of Gold Glimmer Mist . The embossed panel is cut from "Rustic White" paper, the card form behind it, is cream.

The Waltzingmouse labels 5 image is embossed with gold embossing powder ...

And the floral embellishment is a mixture of a Prima Flower base with a home created vellum flower - using Papertrey's Beautiful Blooms II dies, layered over the top.

The edges of the card are inked with Papertrey's Tea Dye Duo and the bottom edge is finished with an embossed strip from the "Distressed Stripes" stamp set.

And this card is headed off to send lots of love to 2 dear friends on the 25th of this month :0) 40 years on!!! I truly do wish them well - and a *VERY* happy day!!

I am also entering this card at "The Shabby Tea Room" this week - where the focus is on embossing!!

Thank you to the ladies who work so hard for these challenges! It's always *so* appreciated!

Thanks for popping in and visiting me! We almost made 100 degrees here today!?!!! I hope things are manageable in your part of the world!

:0)!!
