I needed an anniversary card for one of my regular card customers and this image, drawn by Anne Fenton, came from the Creative Freebie Challenge at Outlawz just in time. She told me brown and yellow were her wedding colors.
The image is colored with Promarkers and I added 'Fairy Dust' Creative Inspirations Paints to her "gown" for some shimmer. I die cut the image, inked the edges, and stippled it with "Old Tea" distress ink. I added pearls to her necklace and to the middle of his bow tie.
The brown die cut you see is actually the negative space from a die cut, left in the yellow CS after cutting. I added the sheer, brown ribbon and then I adhered the yellow piece to the brown card base. After that, I layered the oval image over the top so that it looks like the brown is a framing mat around the image. The yellow CS wraps around the back of the card also.
I tied a bow from that same sheer ribbon and attached it to the top of the oval. The card front looks rather fancy and intricate but it's really pretty CAS.

Hey, it's Wednesday and that means we're half-way to the weekend. Hooray! In my case, it means only one more work day and then I get to start my long weekend away for Mother's Day, soaking in the beauty of the California coast and playing with grandkids. What better way to celebrate. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
I used the sketch from Creative Inspiration Paint FB.
