It was my in-laws Golden Wedding Anniversary last week so
this one fit the bill perfectly I think but could be used for lots of occasions.
I started out by dry embossing a piece of cardstock using a
Cuttlebug Retro Circles folder then inking it with Gold Delicata ink
followed by Perfect Pearls in Gold to make it shimmer and shine even more!
The Codeword over at CASology this week is Circles so I'll be heading over
there with this card and as well as the circle embossing folder I've trimmed the
panel with a stitched curve border from MFT Die-Namics and rounded the edges.
The 'happy' word die and 'anniversary' sentiment are from Hero Arts
and to add a little more shine there's some sequins and gems from my stash.
Here's a little close-up of the panel as I found it's really difficult to
catch the shine in a photograph!
Next up I've kind of used the sketch at this week's CAS(E) This Sketch
challenge and die-cut some chevrons using foil cardstock.
The chevrons are by Clearly Besotted: Geometric Style II, and the
'birthday wishes' is also CBS from their 'Happy Birthday' set.
My die-cut 'Sending' is a new purchase from Simon Says Stamp and to finish
I've added some Doodlebug sequins which matched the foil papers perfectly.

Fab makes yet again, Sarah. I really need some perfect pearls in my stash, I'm a bit thin on the ground with great products. That embossed panel looks awesome and I love your glossy chevrons xx
ReplyDeleteThe foil die chevrons are so effective. Love the layout and the chevron pointing upwards to emphasise the sentiment 'sending', very creative. The perfect pearls with the gold card works beautifully and is perfect for both of the challenges. Great inspiration, thanks x
ReplyDeleteLOVE the shimmery circles, Sarah - what a fun, bubbly card! So glad you joined us at CASology this week!
