For my card I wanted to make it vintage looking, but also tying in the wedding/anniversary theme as well. My color scheme for this card was brown, coral and gold. I thought that these colors just really went well together. For a vintage affect I used a piece of wood-grain printed paper from the Crate Paper DIY Shop 6 x 6 Paper Pad. I cut it down to about 4 1/4 x 3 3/4. I splattered that piece of paper with the Heidi Swapp Coral Color Shine just to give it a bit of interest and shine. I rounded the corners with my EK Success Corner Rounder and then put it to the side. I mounted my Fiskars Stamp Press with the tall flowers stamp from the Stampendous Agapanthus Thank You stamp set. I then inked up my stamp in Versamark Ink and stamped that off to the left side. Since versamark ink is a very sticky ink, it stays wet long enough for me to emboss with. I embossed the flowers in gold embossing powder by ranger. I love the look of this so far.
For the greeting on this card I took a piece of vellum and colored it with a coral colored marker and let that dry. When it was dry I stamped Love You Tons as the greeting from the Sketchy Banners stamp set from Simon Says Stamp in versamark ink. We actually won this stamp set from Laura Sterckz in a little giveaway she did and we love it. I embossed it in gold again and I think it looks magnificent. I used glossy accents to attach that piece to the pattern paper. I cut an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of white cardstock in half to make a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base. I used foam squares to mount the pattern paper on to the card base. I stamped happy anniversary from the Happy Stamp Set by Simon Says Stamp in Hero arts shadow ink Bubblegum! I hoped you enjoyed LWKC's first attempt at the SSS Wednesday Challenge Blog. See you next time!
