The second card is for the Dies R Us challenge. They are celebrating their 1st anniversary and so the challenge is to create an anniversary card. I think this card would be perfect for a golden anniversary card or any anniversary really. I die cut the patterned paper using the Lawn Fawn Speech Bubble border die. The "congratulations" from the Simon Says Stamp set "Congratulations" (it is part of the May card kit) was stamped using VersaMark watermark ink, gold embossing powder applies and then heat set. The bottom paper is also from the SSS May kit. Love all those fun gold foil embossed diamonds. I adhered just a strip of that to a cream cardstock panel and then added the sentiment portion on top using fun foam instead of foam dimensionals to give the piece more stability. The panel was then attached to a cream cardstock base.
Thanks for stopping by...
