Vintage Anniversary........

It was my brother and SIL's wedding anniversary last Sunday (not yesterday) , the day after my SIL's birthday, and this is the card that I made for them. I used papers from DCWV Garden Party 8x8 stack. I had a vintage picture in my library that I'd downloaded months ago and decided to use it for this card as the colours on the photo are a good match for the papers. I printed the picture onto textured cardstock and it came out pretty much perfect. I adhered it with foam pads over a punched border wrapped with cream grosgrain ribbon. I added a large Prima silky bloom and a few WOC roses. I snuck a few pearl strands in there too! The mat that the blooms are on was cut from a Marianne Creatables doiley die. 'Happy Anniversary' was cut from gold cardstock, shadowed with vanilla cardstock, and adhered with foam pads. I added my bro and SIL's initials and a pearl heart to the top right hand corner of the picture to complete the card.
