Hubby & I are celebrating our 30th Anniversary this Nov. 30th Anniversary Gifts are Traditional Pearl & Modern Diamond. I embellished the card with gems to be more Diamond like than use Pearls. I added ribbon and used Heart shaped gems because I like heart-shaped items.
The sentiment, which is versatile and can be used for many purposes. I used it already for birthday & it could be for wedding or congrats of any kind. I made the card for my hubby trying for a subdued pink color to match the colors on the paper that is embossed with the Bride & Groom.
I used a Spellbinder for Heart. Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink first spun sugar & then worn lipstick while Spellbinder die was still in place so the outer edge would not be inked.
