Hello! Thanks for visiting my blog! I have a card to share today that I agonized over a little bit! I wanted this 50th Anniversary card to be special, and I rejected a number of designs before I came up with this one. Since I used gold, I needed to take several photos to show the shine!
In the end, I heat embossed my wreath stamp over top of a very old piece of patterned paper. I colored in the flowers with a pink marker. I went with gold and pink since the bridesmaid dresses in the wedding were pink.
I die cut the numbers out of some foil paper and added a frame of the same paper. The card was finished by adding four score lines to the card base to represent the couple’s four children.
Supplies: Hero Arts Flower Wreath stamp, Versamark ink, Recollections Gold detail embossing powder, Anna Griffin patterned paper, Hero Arts Classic Numbers Frame cuts dies, Target dollar spot Valentine foil paper pack.
I would love to enter this in Word Art Wednesdays Anything Goes challenge an the Library Challenge - The Rose Garden.

Your card is so beautiful. I love the gold embossing on the patterned paper. It looks so elegant.
You personalized this beautifully with the original wedding colors and the couples 4 children with the score lines! Brilliant and beautiful!
Love the attention to detail with the colour of the bridesmaids dresses and how many children they have. What a classy, elegant and gorgeous card. The gold is so rich and the pink so pretty. You can see the shine but I know what you mean about the camera and shiny things x
This is so gorgeous and I love all the gold embossing.
Oh my this is stunning. I love the gold embossing on top of the patterned paper. So elegant.
Oh, Heidi, what a beautiful 50th anniversary card and filled with such wonderful meaning! I love this Hero Arts stamp and have it myself. I love how versatile it is. What a wonderful idea to gold emboss it on an old piece of DP and then add the 50 for the center. The sweetest was adding four score lines for the children! How precious, and I'm sure they will love it so much! You are such a joy! Hugs! xoxo

Wow, you rocked this card out. So perfect for a 50th anniversary. Colouring the flowers pink because the bridemaids colours were pink is a very nice and thoughtful idea. Excellent work on the heat enbossing.
This is just gorgeous! I hope it goes in a frame!! Thank you for joining In the Word Art Wednesday fun! Ginny M DT
