This is a card I created for friends of ours who celebrated their 30th Pearl Anniversary recently. Because I wanted to reflect the "Pearl" aspect of the anniversary I wanted to keep it soft using pearlised cream card for everything and an overall rose gold colouring.
The Rose image is from Craft Creations (U-Mount range) based in UK.
I stamped it several times and embossed in gold and coloured softly with Copics then decoupaged using dimensionals in graduated layers.
The other stamping - flourishes (Sketchy flourishes - Inkadinkadoo) in background and message tag are stamped with Brilliance gold and dusted with a goldy/pink pigment powder.
The square mat was embossed with Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder and "distressed" using gold Brilliance and again dusted with the same pigment powder as before. The corners (as with overall card) were rounded with corner punch.
The frame and frame backer are made with Nestabilities Labels 2. I also used dimensionals on frame to give it depth.
The 30 is metal a coppery colour out of one of those tins of numbers/letters (can't remember brand). I then embellished with stick on pearl gems. (as did with bottom of frame).
Finally I needed a ribbon to go with it. So I coloured a piece of cream organza ribbon with a soft pink copics to tone with rest of card.
Our friends were very pleased with the card when they received it.
