Elegant Wedding or Anniversary Card for Heart2Heart Challenges

I can hardly believe this is my last entry as a Design Team member for Heart2Heart Challenges.  Six months really flew by fast!  I've had such a wonderful time being on the team - so many talented ladies and so many people joining in the fun participating in the challenges.  I have definitely learned a lot during my time and have added oodles of ideas for my own crafting from all the participants and have been stretched artistically by my wonderful team members!  A huge thanks goes out to Mary Vogel who is the team captain and blog owner - thanks for picking me and letting me be part of such a wonderful venture!

Here is my entry for this week's challenge - an elegant card suitable for a wedding or anniversary.

I softened the brighter pinks of our Lucy paper by layering some vellum on top.  I added an Art Philosophy shape underneath along with a sweet sentiment from a retired set.

The roses were embossed in silver on Colonial White and then tinted with Blush using my waterbrush.  A little bit of Stardust Glitz in the centers gave me the effect I wanted.

I adore our Rhinestone Designer Brads for an instant pop of class on any project and color matching our Color Ready Seam Binding to any project is a snap.

I hope you'll join us this week at Heart2Heart Challenges and create an elegant wedding/anniversary card using some CTMH products!  I adore seeing all your creations and want to celebrate my final days as a Design Team member (sniff, sniff) by visiting each of you!

Hugs,

Paige

The new black Baker's Twine is the perfect accent for this simple graphic card.

Word Blocking Anniversary Card using CTMH Feb Word Puzzle, Love Always and Dazzling Diecuts

This is the simple but sweet anniversary card I made for my husband this year to celebrate our many years together.  We met on his 21st birthday when he was already a good sheet to the wind.  After a night of celebrating with his college buddies I'm surprised he remembered me the next day.  True love was swift as we were engaged just a few months later and have now been together for half his life and a little over half of mine.  When my kids ask me what the most important thing is to find in a person I always answer a good sense of humor as that will get you farther as a couple than anything else!  Here's to 21 years of laughter and support through the tears.

Here is a close up showing the liquid glass detailing I did - I picked out I love and U as the only items on the front to get liquid glass.  The small hearts in I (heart) you have a bit of pink watercolor pencil in them for some shading.

Materials Used:

Paper:  Desert Sand, White Daisy

Stamps:  February Word Puzzle (retired), Love Always

Ink:  Desert Sand, Blush

Other:  Liquid Glass, Watercolor Pencils, Basic Brads, White Grosgrain Ribbon, Blush Dazzling Diecuts (former promotion)
