On the 2nd of August my sister & her husband will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. I don't know about them but it doesn't feel that long ago that I wore my my pink bridesmaid dress (and my first bra!).
They are off to Mexico today to have a second (or possible 5th by now) honeymoon, and I didn't get their card finished in time to drop round before they went, so it'll have to be sat on the door mat when they get home.
This card started life as this sketch from Card Patterns along with another colour I don't use often, More Mustard. In fact it is another ink pad that is still in its wrapping.
Again I grabbed my Color Coach and checked on the combos, I picked Bravo Burgendy & Old Olive to go with the mustard.
The stamp set is "Fresh Cuts" I love the main image from this set, collage without the headaches! The numbers are the "Schoolbook Serif" and sentiments are the same as my last post from "Basic Phrases" and "Happy Moments".
I wanted a bit of silver on the card, with it being their silver anniversary, so I edged everything with Stampin' Up! Platinum shimmer paint. Think I might have gone a tad too far with it!
Using a dauber I sponged the paint on to my number stamps and stamped these in the paint too. It washes off the stamps really easy and is great for a different look to your cards.
Well that's all for today. I'm out with some fellow demos crafting all day, well there will be some buisness training thrown in there too!
Happy Crafting!
