Silver criss-cross Anniversary......

 Well folks, I told you I had a new obsession and I wasn't joking! I've got quite a few of these cards to show you and this is no.2. I made the card base in exactly the same way as the previous card, and I used a mixture of papers from Papermania and Debbie Moore freebies from Creative Cardmaking mag. I made the fronts of the card two-tone using two different papers, punching the bottom edge of the top paper with an MS border punch. A scalloped oval holds the number '25' and some punched/embossed flowers made from silver mirri, with silver pearl centres. 'Anniversary' was cut from silver mirri and adhered flat below the punched edge of the top paper.
The insert card was cut from silver mirri with patterned paper and pearlescent paper layers. 'Congratulations' was cut from silver mirri and adhered flat. A silver bow and pearl-centred flower was adhered to the top of the insert. For a finishing touch I added another scalloped oval with the world 'silver' cut from mirri, and some teeny punched flowers and leaves, to the pocket.
